multiple times every chance he got during that testimony that lasted several hours. every chance he g got he r repeated as fact. in the west have to be very careful that now was not the time. to relax too quickly too soon to reopen too soon because as you mentioned the virus was not under control in that it could still come back with a vengeance so he warned really. the aids that were re openen remember most states the united states have started t to re open against one way or anotheher but most of the states are not neediding the guidelines not meeting the criteria set out. by this crew members and task force in order to re open it safely so he was saying look if you go too fast this could. really backfire not only regarding and he is suffering and death of those were his words and not only the number of cases and the numumber of deaths that could. come back to back fire for that re opening a

book also he said and that was something directed at the supporters of the presidentnt were pushing for that re opening he said thatt if it backckfires if there is a second week. it could be very very hard e even hardede on thehecony than t the first i shut down so that was really the goal of anthonony foundhe ask you is ass you mentntioned- talalking t thh videoonferencee because he is south quarantining after c comig into contact. with someone who has tested posositive so a ahony found she really stickcking it o an act the scicience trying to leave by example going. say iff you haven't. contrtract o on the posititive you have to s sell pointing that he's- a so he's a really trying and west of. yes

front of the cool stuff to prediction that things could be worse for sometime to come business down by some 27% for the month o o april i'd say here in france. what most of us watching from twenty four. hello and welcome to the friends twenty four interview our guest today is supper oct centrality that day. she's in that reunion activist she's the author of a book that was just published here in france i'll translate the title. deeds of freedom is not a crime it's written with the remark as corey 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 were sentenced to two years. in prison however before the verdict was handed down you decided to secretly fleet iran through turkey and you know i'll live in exile in canada. it is 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 up withth- livingg this double lifa liviving a lie and pretend eveverythingng iss okay for many years- v. fair refaced why less people are facing wireless because of compulsory job and the other thing is i knew as elidel about women's movement in west of the suffragette movement i was very fascinated by those women who made those changes and now will remain inn west can- use it- and they hahae

almost had the same rights as men quality and i realize. on those three men were socks full in their movements because they add me eventually theyy had the support of normal ordinary men and we award cares and- in iran women's rights activists are best forty years but it didn't go anywhere because they didn't have the support of us so we can disc campaign k. i realize this is the moment for me it was going to serve a white. campaign the principal just as well to where a white and yourself to wear white to or too be on ways in a and straight sed send a message to the journalist who started the campaign and the campaign was simply asking normal womenen and men to o come forwaward and be their voice so that was the moment f for me to join a c catt

eight supposed to soso be it ye. violence i'm camping right was it turning point however it's in this of two thousand and seventeen- woman i didn't. by go in very well known the place in center of. decides to her very off put it on this. and this created quite stir and for you this was a turning because was not only about wearing white it was taking the job and put it on a stick sure- form forming before for a few months. everybody was talking about composer who job at protesting compulsory job but that's lady i have had- like- she performed- likee and she was 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 tools the most beautiful and peaceful stability the- import them and i was one of their first meeting fall her pot so you started doing the same the same yeah. i have a few days after her a few days so quite a few times and eventually what was bound to happen happens you were arrested. by police we can in the book. several of those arrests- and also the humiliation of the vote plans in prison all used in soap bubuying. yeah yeah. you know i way that's spot in this of the city i wanant to do arrest a ate same time i was. i i was i was o other women and men to do our- to see. at madden eighteen hour in my neighborhood and join uss i've known by its yeah during

interrogation i faced- most horrible things in the ward and did that for the most- the scariest india's- that you realizize. that they can do anythihing with you when and thy capture you you were lucky if i may say because you were able to be defended by a well known lawyer not screen so today- who defended too you a and- is now herself in jail for very long time or shortly after- actually defending- you but this allowed you to. have someone on your side telling you what to do because i imagine there's a lot of intimidation and you don't know what to do when your face those. situations she was my ononly hope although i am i wasnsn't able to like talkk to r or contact her during t t time i was detained by the she i'm betting that she- had done for me was. to brought the justice and public eyes and told people

other things that happened to me and two other women also d. nyada remain. and owls my old my life to her my family's safety and myself right- so you were arrested- three times and at some point you decide because you have. the husband obviously you have a young son and you say in the book that you realize that. if they am to die and so you do to flee to a usus. into turkey and now you're income of. you great leaf. the country. what was thehe bestest you may. s. complicated for me at the same time i'm a to i told for women's rights and my for my friend and my- which is great and by the i'm i'm not happy i cannot enjoy freedom as much as i want. because all the

all the teens- but my mind is in iran and- my heart is with my friends and my lawyer right because i mean the sentences- maybe after you've fled have become harsher and harsher there's 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 they were arrested and now they have very long sentences. is it maybe a consequences of what you did. i the were my friendss my close friend of ours who was advocating for mee during that time i was out off state.. was one of them was going to o shove hours-s- but that all hinges- wouldemain are getting braver eveven though didn't they see that but there they had done to me or are there. othther women and men and government wanted i wanted to send a m message to al the remand remand remand- but at the same time if youou s seee nenews if yoyou see the videos u

see. even though we do twenty four twenty three year sentence- m. b. men are getting bolder and braver and i didid want to obey c composer he j job even deaeal with that. i it winw the police officers ask them and they are- telling to their face that. i don't believe in peace law and i'm not obeying deuce- as sexual discrimination. do you believe this is still going on or that the movement has been stopped because of the intimidation because of other things likee that not sly cab andnd i it's ni like to get up andd grab a and bebelow the street. but but they are- they're doing another campaign just to feel the just to make a record that off a prisoner's record the pololice officers. who. who wants to. i stand and they're brave enough.

you're free to yoyou voted f fon raw i into. . and thirteeeen yoo the sameme. . of couourseotot w. the titime i think i wanted t to twtwo years ago i dididn't belie in any reform even back then it was just because i was an animal support there and they promised to have these rights for animals but i was billy i had believed in- reformed back before two thousand and nine and i was one of the people who hope that there are some- changes there's gonna be some changes in the government. but after two thousand and nine and the demonstration i would realize there's not gonna be any reform in my country but and the people who are just- war teams i like choosing between the bad and the ba'ath party and the worst p part of te but after and the demonstration in- in december two thousand and seveventeen wednesday reformist party killed people killed innocent protesters. m.

and after that in two thousand seventeen date and they saw chris all day- like i did and movements are movements teacher movements removes men's and also last november if you if yoyou saudisis harm this horribe news from iran they killed- m. based on based on a reuters reports more than fifteenen huhundred. nine protesters and- mad mmhm i understand thousands of people in just three days so you see there's no difference between reform or. sunday at least i understand just last was running of time obviously you're not. regime and some saying that you're being use or allowing yourself to be used by those especially in the u. s. pushing for regime change are you being used thank. in in touch with anyone from u. s.

and this is the mindset of people that are taking care of our women don't have a voice this is me i was always- believing change and want to change in my country with other iranians but i didn't have the chance now i have the chance. anand you see this the human rights situatition the violation of human rightss are getting worse andnd worse in my country do what am i supposed to do i do not think now i have a platform as human rights activists as a woman writes act activists. and i'm going to use that to just tell the ward. that these are happening in iran and open your eyes to the violation of human rights in iran and i i. supports the iranian people and not the government. thank you very much- supper auctions- these are the for coming on the friends twenty four- interview your book is published in the
