or is this the beginning of the end of the islamic regime? iran is one of the world's 10 worst countries for press freedom reporters are very much at risk as, as any one seen speaking to foreign media, which is why we decided not to travel to iran for our own. and every one else is safety. instead, we stayed in vienna and try to reach a young student in iran by phone. i think the connection is bad, unfortunately. can you hear me now? internet access has been restricted in iran since the protests began with cooling, the young woman marian out of concern for her security. we're not using her real name and her voice has been dumped me. i hear you know, i hear you. why do you think your generation started this protests in the internet? you can see that other countries help leave how warm and leave

you say to us, but we can't leave like this. why they can do everything we want because it's not norma or life is not in the lot. many women, including miriam, have demonstratively been breaking the hedge up law and showing their hair. this was unthinkable until a short time ago. the whole man displayed situation. the job in the university, in this event, in the family. the hedge up is the same for that. are you still scared if you go to the street without that job? i'm a scared, but that's like the 1st thing, you know, the 1st day was in this katie, because i read for the mora police. i was like this. take. they take me now, but now it's in the change. it's kind of the sexes,

but it's not like are all you know, the rule is not changed. just change in the streets, especially anyone who refuses to comply with the hedge of law can be stopped on the street and taken in by the morality police and risks harsh punishments. i found another woman who we are calling. we're sheena. she's in her mid forties and was recently released from prison. she was sentenced for protesting against the hedge up law. i'm not against the job against mandatory hit job. there are still controls for compliance with the hedge up law. and the regime has eyes everywhere. asked my friend and i were in the car. we stopped in front of an intersection. it. there are many cameras on the streets which take pictures of the inside the cars. washing by with ours, we got a text message within a few minutes that we had not followed islamic rules shimoda shorter than this

looking iranian born lawyer shira, her semi lives in vienna. from here, she documents the protests and posts updates on twitter every day. the photos and videos come from iran, social media are the only platforms iranians have to show the international community what is happening inside their country most with the obstacles. here i posted a concert which took place in tehran in the audience, started chanting women life freedom. i that's remarkable when you consider how many people have already been in prison august, the fulfill a mention dish and im giving new seats many videos come from the hundreds of school girls who've been poisoned across the country. the regime is suspected of being involved. others shows social media trends like turban tossing,

young people, film each other, knocking turbans off the head of islam, clerics as a form of protest. and from his niece that the need people at the beginning not much happened because they had no means of control in august. because then they passed a law making target toasting a punishable offense on time. and they hunted people down and arrested them on the house that some were brutally tortured, looked at warden. there was one very bad case of a young man. i think he was just 16 juan and 16 younger he took his own life to have that he was tortured so brutally in custody and put under so much pressure the half that he could not stand it. it was man to talk. is it thus dim? nissan type called a, this couple has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for this dance in front of the freedom tower and a great personal risk. young people have also scrawled anti regime slogans on buildings. i think about books there crossed out what we wrote last night, but we just wrote it again on thompson to protest the executions. people have

suspended nooses from bridges with moolah figures as it did because i thought these are the development has been that these street protests eyes, the van, which initially really a lot of people joined on which were held in different locations at the same time. i have stopped and i had to face can only because so many people were arrested in a short time by they told us in death sentences were given as a thought is to that scared young people from the peg if he's in, but in so they switch to other forms of protest and that i put this that says as on for still here and we're organizing, bob isn't organized, but i think they need a bit of a break from fighting out on the streets and empowers and my form from his class and come sure, a has shami says the role of the iranian diaspora has now become more important than i would like to get checked on those to me on the, on the entity. ron said, we've been out on the streets for months back. it would be good if you could take over for a while and help. sure, a shami makes her way to the united nations office in vienna,

where iranian dissidents have set up a protest. cam. oh, since massa, i mean is death in september they have taken turns and holding vigils, day and night, whatever the weather the doctor hassan now yet hush him and his fellow campaigners are drawing attention to the crimes of the iranian regime. mankey and pupil lock. yeah, that's the really young one that's gone really off. he was 10 years old. you're each of these gravestones commemorates a child or teenager who was killed during the protest. this, by the iranian regime. i see jaw you only on nbc. we meet mustard and ma. hon. his brother, mark miss robbie was recently arrested in iran, lidar mac mode, mac mood was arrested in front of my mother on the 1st of february. and he's been

gone without a tray since we're back them fair. don't see a dish bill for him as you can you imagine why he was arrested? moved by shanisha edward probably because he was out demonstrating and iran for a few months. the going on for free don't. for the people in iran began for women life freedom, be luck, gloria. 3, them hutcher does con side. the iranian regime only hesitates to commit crimes against political prisoners. when the world is watching. the activists in front of the united nations office in vienna plan to stay put for as long as the protests continue in iran. with hulu. we have set up an interview with human rights activist, poor and as a me, in iran, she's on the road when we reach her. but the internet connection is reasonably

stable. but will, mums, is why have you decided to give this interview and not hide your face? i can, i don't think people are not ab beach that in to the care. i think the main reason why some iranians hesitate to go out on the streets and fight. that is the fear. yes. fancy alban hawk yard while they're scared of being heard in prison, had that have bad india a big you had an issue. i am showing my face on camera because i want to dissipate that feeling me she in abilene due to being so bad. if we don't have the courage to go out and confront them directly to get more shower material. yeah, they will spread rumors as durable here in the population law and rules air ball and we will not blame it will show your audible cliff what he judges, pat, jeremy f ab about that is why i am showing my face. you good image, you being that you had your mattie and clark i job you that went up on to afraid angst. sleigh bed bigoted aggie began with a retired thump durable. i would be lying. if i said i was not afraid. and madam

it makes me extremely saddle. i suffer from that much more than my knowledge. lot of me that began in my book that back here in iran, an 11 year old girl can be engaged to a 60 year old man. if her father gives his permission to have the mattress men and marry for women. and john, no matter how the woman feels about it, is 1 o'clock at van bay. and if a woman complains char, he can cut off her livelihood traffic. and women here have no right to decide to wish that we are not even allowed to decide what we wear and took all the bushes over rotten. now, daddy. meanwhile, the iranian government has been propagating a different version of what is happening in the country. they claim that the protest so organized by the usa and that the protest is or killing policeman. bad. yeah, good. you have. oh no, no, no joe, on on you have some of these protesters are teenagers and young people and know she has, who have taken to the streets, lives of their emotion after seeing something on the internet. so when we get

higher journia and so, so the and it so, so team john mean i but they take to the streets to experience something. it bigger this your cameras slam roller. they are very few that you are compared to the iranian nation. are you there and the loyal, faithful, your for your time beam general. but this group can be disciplined and guide to go you others from get these images broadcast on iranian state. television. critical reporting is not tolerated as natalie a, mary, a germany rainy and knows all too well an iran correspondent for the german, a r d channel for several years. her reports were thorn and the side of the regime . after a warning that the regime was planning to take her as a political hostage, she left iran 3 years ago. we met natalie a mirror at a book presentation near munich. and luncheon all fixed or if you grow up in

munich in a democracy, but he never ask yourself the question of what democracy means suspect, thought i. but when i came to iran i was confronted with the fact that i no longer had freedom. kyle and no longer had pieced kind of freedom out. it's my belief that the is in is not in essence 0. you can't report freely in the islamic republic of iran, venson state, and that you have from who none of the country has ranked 178 out of 180 on the reporters without borders last on it for thought. i know they constantly try to thwart journalist one becomes and they put obstacles in their way. and vicki league, dancer, sean, and then there's the question of how you can report on such a country has that's how you can convey what is really happening there. dought passing it then because life as it's portrayed by the regime, it's just a bluff is dea. am cornel nominal. i'm bluff. it was,

it's only on television. women are portrayed us having freedom, i know, and as having rights. and it was torn deed, but in reality, a woman in iran hardly has any rights to defect what and how she only counts as half a personal, ze built noise as, as had by mench, etc. it, these law mac regime has been in powerful 40 full years ever since the 1979 revolution ended the monarchy, unopposed of then rulers shaw mohammed, razor pac larvae. his successor was a ron's 1st supreme leader, ayatollah to holler hominy, who turned the iranian revolution. internist law mc one, with far reaching consequences. we spoke to rainy and noble peace prize, laurie at sharina body. she was the 1st female judge in the history of iran and was in iran when the show was overthrown. today she renee body lives in exile in london

and only gives interviews online. the rainy in secret service is known for its kidnapping and murder plants, even abroad. shamela cathy, but last shadow that i had already received several debts, rebel. how jimmy duncan, i prefer not to make it easy for my enemies to fulfil their intentions yet the kids other. that's why i am for assume. your son is the was hook him up at the moment. more ma'am, then made your i joined the anti sha protest like millions of my fellow citizens in iran, but i quickly realized what a mistake i had made that well we all had made it to will have that he had the and i had tony khomeini all the freedoms women had before the revolution were abolished . an islamic legal system was introduced. the worth of a woman's testimony in court was valued half that of a man's, wearing the hitch up became mandatory,

and alcohol was bad. zona saw it rueful, me sir. when the shot was in power before we were doing quite well, given the circumstances, food. although the higher we had personal freedom all, all there were no problems in that respect. but mostly what we didn't have under the shop was political freedom a whole me. so we thought homie, me would bring us political freedom, he goes, but unfortunately that didn't happen. is danielle wu. not only did he failed to bring us political freedom on what passed, so funny, he took away the personal freedom that we had it as we were russ s o. d. and then our economic situation also deteriorated it in what did that, you know, missed your blood pressure after the revolution, she ran a body, lost her job as a judge. the explanation being that women were not suitable for that position. in

the following years, she defended women's rights as a human rights lawyer. in 2003, she was awarded the nobel peace prize for this work and became the 1st muslim woman to win the prize. although she was celebrated in terran after the award, those in power increasingly restricted her freedom until she left to run in 2009 in connie, he shall fall and they made it impossible for me to continue my work in iran. already i could no longer practiced law. they confiscated my assets, my property a little, my umbrella, they started prosecuting me ever. so i had no choice but to leave iran in order to stay away his fundamentals. and since then, i've been able to work much more actively and all over them. but he said, i saw the account for you. since the islamic revolution, the u. s. is seen as the countries main enemy. iran presents itself as united with

china and russia in their fight against the waste, but in private, behind closed doors. things are a bit different. yeah, as it does, it's much been one example is this twitter account called rich kids of tehran. i looked in which tries to show how the regime does not follow its own principles, dusty this machine the to least and they have to built up this religious dictatorship in the country in law with its rules and oppression would, is atlantic youth addicted to what then we seek their own children, anybody who obviously don't want to be subjected to these rules of leave, not because they are young and have grown up with digital media. born with told me to get i made in of give axle seemed to listen. look, that's western bread and super fancy that feed month and you're not going to see a party video into iran, especially there is a big party scene. although of course, everything happens behind closed doors and in secret, apologizing too often. it's the children of islamic revolutionary guard corps who

are there because they are never subject to controls. don't got these. no one comes by and checks whether people are dancing, whether men and women are mixing, whether alcohol is being consumed, they are well off. they live off their parents' money, which is essentially the people's money from their tax revenues from the before go home from the revolutionary gar, discipline, economic power in iran, vh of they control the whole national economy for their trough. many companies lower their c, e o is a revolutionary guards, lutherans cut these, meaning they have a lot and economic power of utah coffee for star. meanwhile, many citizens struggle to make ends meet corruption, political isolation and international sanctions are all taking their toll on the general population. the iranian real is losing value every day. if it is expensive, long and lots of people have a problem with ford and ping that you need for leaving it last bad a lot of years ago. but it war wars and war and now toilet

labor. the regimes revolutionary god, doesn't just control the economy, but also the media and the judiciary. it is a powerful parallel army with 200000 members and is notorious for its violence against female demonstrators. iranians at home and abroad are calling on the european union to put the revolutionary god on the e u. terrorist in february, thousands when to brussels to voice. this demand also a rainy and medina, barza was also there and you know, humbly fertile to so demand to you is that they start their double standards of islands. we have a regime in power in iran, which is so terrible and so inhumane, that it cannot be condoned. it was coming down. it doesn't bumped on yet a little you building behind us. they sit down at a table and negotiate and who deals with these people handler and on transferred to

the group stop doing business with these terrorists. that's our main demand for the e. u has imposed sanctions on individual members of the revolutionary god, but not against the organization as a whole. the you sides legal hurdles. but there is also the new tier deal which was put on hold and might be revived. natalie, a mary says that european foreign policy has been manipulated by lobbyists of the islamic republic for years. they have warned that if the islamic regime falls and the multi ethnic state of iran breaks up, it will become a security risk for europe. vastly of an exact time, but what they had never said is what of the islamic republic no longer existed, hit than get distinct in the world's largest finance or of terror would cease to exist to them human that there were no more warren yamini. iraq could decide its

own politics, cannot there would be no prudent supporters. mom at the moment, their best friends, hancock thousands of on to all iran since thousands of drones to russia in trance russian soldiers to use them in no crane war or carina clinic. when it comes to taking aaron's regime to task, there are many factors to consider the have them. and boy vac they've built up has the law as a bulwark. the location of which they've had their missiles pointing at israel for years that touch on lead yalom does this home on that is also why no one dares to challenge iran on the issue of enriched uranium, the at whom am i sure who undergoes not everyone here is demonstrating for the same goal to overthrow the islamic regime. formerly hostile exiled opposition parties have joined forces with his common purpose, including the son of the last shot, who has many supporters, but also critics, iranians at home and abroad one to put aside their differences for the greater good

. they're young and old, have different political convictions and come from different provinces with different ethnic minorities bayshore nursing, when people shout from kurdistan to the he done, i give my life for iran at the demonstrations. it shows unit 10 panel shykeneetra. if men stand protectively in front of women risking their lives or their eyesight em all, yet if they are beating up or imprisoned back, it demonstrates men support for women by my faith. when students unite with workers, it is a sign that all layers of society know what they want. it cannot get worse than it is now your course, we will either be killed or go to prison. that's why we have to fight for our goal . if the regime is toppled many iranian exiles including she, rena body,

one to return to their homeland, she wants to continue working there as a human rights lawyer this year only brought up. but in canada i am very hopeful hallmark lesson. i know that if the rulers of all the people can decide for themselves school, love it who, who, marty rulers. sure, sure. we are a very rich country in on saturday. i mean apparel very has we have good universities, donors for your cradle, who we have of all the possibilities for further developmental yet he shuffled doughty, ah, what do you wish for your future in iran? i fish happiness in iran. i round the corner, make progress, and i don't want my message was for me that people shouldn't make decisions for themselves and their ma classy boon.
