twenty four interview our guest today is supper akshar try these a day she's in that ring in activist she's the author of a book that was just published here in france i'll tralate the title deeds of freedom is not a crime it's written with the remote. corner it's published by. and in its your account you're a journey from an upper middle class. woman living in tehran to an activist against- he job- the islamic veil which is mandatory. in iran obviously- you were arrested and then you were sentenced to two years. in prison however before the verdict was handed down you decided to secretly fleet iran through turkey and you now live in exile in canada. i just have a very simple question how does one go from being an upper middle class women to an activist against. the i islamic veil. i'm i was just so fed upp

withth- living this dououble lia living lie and pretend everything is okakay for many years- v. fair refaced why less people are facing wireless because of compulsory job and the other thing is i need to add led box and women's movement in west of the suffragette movement i was very fascinated by does. post a and now remain n in can i use it- ad they have almost at the s same rights as men and equality a and i r realized that i had what dos the man were successfsful in th. because betty at m. eventually they had the support of normal ordinary men i would be a war cares and- in iran women's rights activist did their best for forty years by date and- go

anywhere. they've been have the support us. so when disk campaign came i realize this is the moment for me to assign the so called white twins like campaigns and the principal if i just for our viewers was to where- what it's and fill yourself to wear white to or to be on ways i in and- send your message to the journalists who started the campaign. and the campaign was the asking normal women and men to come forward and be their voice so that was the moment for me- to join thehe campaign and- civil disobebedience and- nonviolence- okay right there was a- turning point and so. whatever it's sambar two thousand seventeen- woman- by the name of the da move i'd go in a very well known in the place in the center of. bond this is to

prevail off put it on a. stick ugh. this and this was a pink one this will only be wearing white it was taking the job and- put it on this. sure for me before a few months everybody but about. composer whose job at producing come he but that's lady. had like. she perform. like an should just standing there quietly and sending a message to government to the government to the authorities that's i'm peacefully protesting the saw and it was very beautiful for me because the most beautiful and peaceful see. disobedience it wore at once is. one of their first in. the same the same young i feel days after her because she days quite a few times and eventually what was bound to happen happened you were

arrested by the police to recounted in the book- several. of those arrests- and also the humiliation of the violence- in prison also accusations of spying yeah.h. y yeah i'm you kw i never went into that spot in the center off t the city i didt want to get arrested at the same time i was. i was i want. other women and men join campaign to see me at madden eighteen in my neighborhood and join us but during interrogation. i faced. oh sorry things in ford and then the from demo e escape yes inded that you rely that t they do anythingng with you when and thy capture you you were lucky if i miss it because you were able to be defended by a well known a lawyer or not and so today- who defended too you and- is

now herself in jail for very long time or shortly after actually defend but despite all you. to a some on your side telling you what to o do because i imagine there's a lot of intimidation and you don't know what to do when your face those. situauations she was my only hope although i am i wasnsn't ablble to lilike talkkr or contact her d during the time i was detained by the- she- i'm- betting that she- had done for me what. to what's the job please public eyes on told people about the disease that that happened to me. and two other women also d. nyada remain and i'm and- my old. my life to her my family's safety and myself right- so you were arrested the three times and at some point you decide because you have. a husband obviously you have a young son and you say in the book that you

realize that. if i stayed i'm going to do hi and so you decide. to flee the country both us to into turkey. are you. income docks you're- leaving. the country. was it the best decision you made. it's very complicated for me at the same time i'm able to advocate for women's rights and my for my friends and my lawyer which is great and but i'm i'm not happy i cannot enjoy freedom as much as i want because all the all the- m. but my mind is in iran and my heart is with my friends and my yeah right because i mean the sentences. made after a few. harsher and harsher there is this a group of women those three women who decide on women's day last year to hand out flowers in the subway in tehran bear head it's- a door arrested and now they have very long sentences. is it maybe a
