1:08 pm
and called on foreign governments to cut all ties with to iran. regime is the for draw a is on her yours or the that you know, the most free people be with us and support us though that your government stop supporting this murderous and child killing regime on dangerous words in the islamic republic. or whether she was arrested for, for a day more at cammie is currently in jail and iran, where according to her lawyer, she'll spend the next 3 years opposition to the supreme leader runs in the family. faraday, murat cammies late father was a prominent critic of the iranian regime. her brother is an activist living and excel in france. this branch of the i a toys family, doesn't want anything to do with his hard line, religious policies, or his crack down on dissent. ah, the unrest in iran has been going on for 3 months,
1:09 pm
and the rage on the streets has only increased in this video, people in tehran can be heard, chanting, i'll kill who ever killed my brother and death to the dictator after man was executed for his role and the protest. oh, it's tiny glimpses into iranian life like this one that show that the ultimate determined isn't enough to silence the iranian people. all the ayatollahs own family. as we just heard the nice thereon supreme leader is one of his harsh his critics. and so as her brother activists mot mood more, i'd, connie has lived in paris for more than 20 years. he was the one who published her video message to the world. oh, had connie sat down for an exclusive interview with the dollies farsi department, and he told us what makes these last 3 months of protests. so important. monday i'm going to open and how to generate
1:10 pm
a use of iran that i have now realized that what this regime said about the former regime was a lie. you don't, you know, they have told many lies and now they are lying about their daily routines. and the needle and along with the about the economy as you were there is about everything to do and of course about political issues. and then one of the rules, my legal dis, they killed people in the street, is not that more than me. and then they say those people had a stroke and died on her that the only question you know, this one sicker than more than alright, i believe that we can now speak to a guy in a he is the founder of the center for human rights in iran and he is joining us now from new york. welcome to d. w. we heard the ayatollahs own nephew, the saying that the people of iran are no longer afraid of the regime. would you
1:11 pm
say that that is true? absolutely, and i think that is the message that the international community need to hear that this movement, the protests are absolutely different than previous ones. of course, they are related, but they have entered a new stage and we need to really have new policies in this regard. we know that already 2 people have faced the death penalty in the last week. is that something the do you think will deter people from taking to the streets and continuing this protest movement? well, they're trying, they're very much trying. that is the ultimate goal of the q sion. but let's also note that over 480 people already been killed on the job in front of the protesting population including the children. and it may are short term
1:12 pm
for a day or 2 cause a lot of intimidation, but i think the way of approaches will come rolling back. and i just want to emphasize that particular european union needs to be prepared to have different policies than just imposing sanction. you mentioned the children who have been caught up in this now we are hearing, but children are among those who've been arrested who are being held as political prisoners. what else can you tell us about that? indeed, we know there are, we're not sure of the total number. what we know that there are, i live over 800000 people in general, been detained over 3 months, around 10000 of them, remaining prison, and hundreds of them are children under the age of 18. and there's lot of concern for them. i want to go back also to what you was saying about the european union. do you think that the new sanctions imposed on the islamic republic by the you will help and,
1:13 pm
and does the regime into iran actually even care about its image on the world stage? exactly. look, the sanctions are necessary but not sufficient. they should continue as needed, but they cannot become the core of the policy. what we really need now is the very strong message that is tangible to iranian government. and i highly recommend that the european union as well as other countries weekend monsters in iran should be pulling out there and bastard or intend together back to their capital and demand the moratorium, the media moratorium on capital punishment before their master go back and to constantly call on iranian ambassador in europe daily to foreign ministry and register protest dot concerns. and furthermore, there should be
