not more our right to decide and to enjoy life. oh man. oh annette at 9 o'clock. if we don't try to bring them down, as i need often they wouldn't power for. does it have that didn't get a spot ah, since september 20, 22, hundreds of thousands of iranians have been risking their lives in revolt against the countries islamic regime. young women in particular have been leading the calls will change under the slogan, women, life freedom with the movement was sparked by the death of 22 year old martha. a many in police

custody. she had been detained by ron's morality police for allegedly violating dressers. the regime has hit back with brutal force. i wonder what's out, he's got a gun. it's estimated that over 500 people who have been killed since the beginning of the protests, many of them still children or teenagers. among them was 16 year old nico shock, a rami well and youtube as sabrina, as mother day, also age 16. ian, what does the 17 year old girl need you? or emotional life as so sensitive? yoga, and she needs affection. she needs to get affectionate. each needs to be liked and

to like other so she can, ah, zarina died of the security forces beat her and the head with battens at a protest. since last september, around 20000 people have been arrested. some were systematically raped like 20 year old. our meter above sea prisoners have been executed without a fair trial. the 1st was 23 year old wrapper, moss and chick, a re condemned for waging war against god. then there was the 22 year old karate master muhammad mfc carroll, me, whose father pleaded for his release. the message is clear, any one who protests must expect the worse. ah, but can iran's government suppress this latest wave of demonstrations? 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 now. i hear you. why do you think your generations started this protests in the internet? you can see that other countries help you leave. how many

you said to us? we can leave like this. why we can do everything. because it's not norma or life is not no money. the want many women, including marion, have demonstratively been breaking the hedge up law and showing their hair. this was unthinkable until a short time ago. they displayed situation the job in the university in this, even in their family. the hedge up is the same law for that. are you still scared if you go to the street without the job? i'm a scared, but much like the 1st thing you know, the 1st day was in this katie, because i wait for the police. i was like this take, they take me now, but now it's a really change. it's kind of the 1st faxes, but it's not like are all you know. the rule is not changed. just change in the st

. officially, anyone who refuses to comply with the hedge of law can be stopped on the street and taken in by the morality police and whisks hush 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. i'm 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. she'll know how it is located .

iranian born lawyer sierra 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. with the obstacles here, i posted a concert which took place in tehran from 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 on him giving new seats in many videos come from the hundreds of school goals 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 fung is needed by the need. people at the beginning not

much happened because they had no means of control in gazette specials. then they passed along making target toasting a punishable offense on time. and they hunted people down and arrested them on to the house that some were brutally tortured at warden. there was then very bad case of a young man. i think he was just 16 monetary and 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 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 at great personal risk. young people have also scrawled anti regime slogans on buildings. i think at that box there crossed out what we wrote them, 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, which were held in different locations. at the same time, i have stopped and i had to face gentlemen because so many people were arrested in a short time by. they told us in death sentences were given as it out there is to that scared young people from the peg if he isn't. but it, so they switch to other forms of protest and that i put this that says, as on for still here who and we're organizing. bob is in organic, but i think they need a bit of a break from fighting out on the streets of gin and polls and my phone from his room class and come. sure, a has shami says the role of the iranian diaspora has now become more important than i would like to construct on those dameon oriented iran 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 semi 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 hudson now yet hush him and his fellow campaigners are drawing attention to the crimes of the iranian racine county and pupils. oh yeah, that's the really young one has gone really on. he was 10 years old. each of these gravestones commemorates a child or teenager who was k, was doing the protest this body iranian regime, tucson, i see jaw in missy. we meet must suit aunt 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. i'm. he's been gone without a tray since i thank them. first, won't see

a dish bill for him as yet. you can you imagine why he was arrested moved by shanisha. it was probably because he was out demonstrating, and iran for a few months. the going on for free. don't love it for the people in around megan for women life freedom. luckily, a 3 them hutcher does concert. 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 system. 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 woman's is why have you decided to give this interview and not hide your face? i mean,

i don't think people are not ab each that into the care. i think the main reason why some iranians hesitate to go out on the streets and fight. i fear that he alban hop yard while they're scared of being heard in prison, had their path bad in here is big you damage or 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, get more shower, matthew will. yeah, they will spread rumors as durable here in the population. an rules err bought and we will not buying. it will show your i to book value what he just passed the draw may it f as a bad is why i am showing my face. you good. maybe she began that you had your math yet. got i job. you that went amount you afraid? asked so bad they did, i get begun. they retired tom to rogue i will be lying. if i said i was not afraid at madame de lambeth thought udall. why sham and i also have a family at that

u. m will. why did they? yeah, yeah. i mean, i don't want to get into trouble or go to prison law is the format, but i, but this is the heart of fighting, find off on mad at if we don't show our resilience. now hardy, be, you know, if we don't try to bring them down, what about it? they will stay in power for decade at that new kid. it's bad hardwood poor. another me has been imprisoned several times as a political prisoners, and she was 14 years old. when we spoke to her criminal proceedings against her were underway and she was out on bail no managers, he will not deny that i am not well physically at which i'd be my hilarious illness . yes, that was that i've been arrested several times and bad man. i've been tortured. i did meet me that i have suffered many physical injuries, sat at the ab. but what makes me suffer much more is the situation i encounter in our society every day. when i see the girls and boys in our country trying to realize their dreams with empty hands, it makes me extremely saddle. i suffer from that much more than my gnawed lot of me

that began in my books out of out here in iran, an 11 year old girl can be engaged to a 60 year old man if her father gives his permission. perhaps the latter men can marry for women in john, no matter how the woman feels about it all in it like a band. and if a woman complains char, he can cut off her livelihood. traffic and women here have no right to decide to get a wish that we are not even allowed to decide what we wear and took all the bushes over rods and my 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 bags. yeah. good. you have, oh no, no, no joe, on on you have some of these protesters or teenagers and young people and know she has, who have taken to the streets was of their emotion after seeing something on the internet to a woman higher journia. yes,

i was hockey and as i thought he was young man, i would gladly take to the streets to experience something dear this your cammie has lung hammer, although they are very few that you are compared to the iranian nation. are you there and the loyal, faithful year or for your time beam general? but this group can be disciplined and guide to go, yet you should get all 3 of these images for 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 in 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 mary at a book presentation near munich, and moonshine all fixed. or if you grow up in munich in a democracy,

tea you never ask yourself the question of what democracy mean 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 your aren't from who none of the country has ranked 178 out of 180 on their reporters without borders laminate for thought. i know they constantly try to thwart journalist one becomes and they put obstacles in our way. and vicki league, dancer, sean, and then there's the question of how you can report on such a country has vast to how you can convey what is really happening there. thought passes that then because life as it's portrayed by the regime, it's just a bluff this 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 defect, what and of how she only counts as half a personal, ze built noise as, as high by mench, etc. it, these law mc regime has been in powerful 40 full years ever since the 1979 revolution ended the monarchy, unopposed of then rulers shaw mohammed reza pac larvae. his successor was a ron's 1st supreme leader, ayatollah to holler hominy, who turned the iranian revolution, internet law mc one with far reaching consequences. we spec to iranian noble peace prize, laurie at sharina body. she was the 1st female judge in the history of iran and was in iran when the shawl was overthrown. today she renee body lives in exile in london and only gets into views online. the radian secret service is known for its

kidnapping and murder plants, even abroad, shamela kathy, but last shadow, that i had already received several death threat. 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 prefer assume you send an intimate hook him up at the moment. more ma'am them made you. 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 tunnel khomeini all the freedoms women had before. the revolution were abolished and his nomic legal system was introduced. the worth of a woman's testimony in court was valued half that of a man's wearing the hedge up became mandatory, and alcohol was bad. zona saw it rueful.

he said when the shot was in power before we were doing quite well. given the circumstances who also knew hi if we had personal freedom all. oh, there were no problems in that respect. but mostly what we didn't have under the shop was political freedom local me. so we thought homey knee 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 upon it, he took away the personal freedom that we had it as we were russ s, so d and then our economic situation also deteriorated. it, it must be done. you know, mischief, but actually 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, off to the award, those in power increasingly restricted her freedom until she left iran in 2009 in connie, he shall fall and lay made it impossible for me to continue my work in iran. already i could no longer practiced law, they confiscated my assets, my property wilma unloaded. they started prosecuting me ever. so i had no choice but to leave iran in order to stay out of his finances. and since then, i've been able to work on much more actively, all over them. but he sent us all the com, funnier. 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 below one example is this twitter account called rich kids of tehran as well, which tries to show how the regime does not follow its own principles, dusty this regime the deletes and they have been built up this religious dictatorship in the country in law with its rules and oppression would, is atlantic usage with what then we see their own children who are you, who obviously don't want to be subjected to these rules of leave not, but because they are young and have grown up with digital media born with don't me to get, i admit in off give axle seemed to listen. look, that's western brad in super fancy that month. and here you can 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. they would have told got this, 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, disciplined, economic power in iran, vh of they control, the whole national economy, forks, their trough, many companies, the or their c. e. o is a revolutionary guards, lutherans got these, meaning they have a lot of economic power of utah, cough, doc, weekly star. meanwhile, many citizens struggle to make ends meet corruption, political isolation and international sanctions are all taking their toll and the general population. the iranian real is losing value every day if it is expensive, norm 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 did war wars and wars are now in 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 guard on the e u. terror list. in february, thousands went to brussels to voice. this demand also a rainy medina. barza was also there no harm to the portal to sergeant mountain to you is that lazy dot there, double standards of islands. we have a regime in power in iran, which is so terrible and so inhumane, that it cannot be condoned and was coming down if it doesn't. but on yet a little you building behind us. they sit down at a table and negotiate and who deals with these people handle on don't for to the right stop doing business with these terrorist that's our

main demand for the e. u has imposed sanctions and individual members of the revolutionary god, but not against the organization as a whole. the you sides legal hurdles. but there is also the nuclear 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 have never said is what if the islamic republic no longer existed hit than get distinct, then the world's largest finance or of terror would cease to exist to them human that there were no more war in yemen. iraq could decide its own politics, can alter, there would be no prudent supporters. mom at the moment,

their best friends, he launched thousands of on to all he ran since thousands of drones to russia and 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 ham 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. yahoo does this home that is also why no one dares to challenge iran on the issue of enriched uranium the a tomb unlikable rank of 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 shaw 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 much or no shame when people shout from kurdistan to the he done, i give my life for iran at the demonstrations. it shows unit 10 panel shakita. if men stand protectively in front of women risking their lives or their eyesight him or yet if they are beating up or imprisoned back it, 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, renee 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 houma left. and i know that if the rulers fall on the people can decide for themselves school, love it who, who much rules. sure, sure. we are a very rich country on saturday. i mean apparel very has we have good universities, gomez, for all your freedom. all we have of all the possibilities for further developmental yet it ye shuffled. naughty. ah, what do you wish for your future in iran? i fish happiness in it on i ran the economic progress and i dont my message was for me that people shouldn't make decisions for themselves. and they ma cassie boon. my name is doug i, i,

bad than them. you know, now i don't know if i will live long enough for my wish to come true. i'm all manner, but like many others are all i wish for peace for the people of iran. i ta, mom. we have lost so many years after they get the joy we didn't have as was the, the grief we had to endure the pain in our hearts is your food outside. so i want the next generations to be spared that and i saw yet they, before i i treated us women like slaves. now we're saying we want our own life. we want freedom. not until to day being a woman was like being a slave from now on, i think being a woman is synonymous with life and freedom um ah,
