2:49 pm
zona saw it rueful me. so when the show was in power before we were doing quite well, given the circumstances who, 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 shot was political freedom khomeini. so we thought homie, me would bring us political freedom, he goes, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. is jenny, although yet 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, it must be done, you know, misty of my passion. 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

2:51 pm
china and russia in their fight against the west, but in private, behind closed doors. things are a bit different. yeah, as a 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. if this is a shame not to leaf and they only 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 that are you 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 me to get the 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, until you think often it's the children of islamic revolutionary guard corps who
2:52 pm
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. the each of today for the whole national economy forks near trough. many companies, the or their c. e, o is a revolutionary guards, lutherans got these, meaning they have a lot and economic power of each of coffee stop. 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, norm and lots of people have a problem with the ford and ping that you need for leaving it last bad the last
2:53 pm
half years ago. but it war and wars and war, and now it, toddler, 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 cooling 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, hm. video photo does our demand to you is that they stopped 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 coming down if one doesn't bump on yet. if you building behind us, they sit down at a table and negotiate and do deals with these people handling on. don't fight to
