the author of a book that was just publishshed here in france i'll translate the title. bits of freedom is not a crime is 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 the 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 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 islslamic veveil. i'i'm i wasas justt so p withth- living thiss double l la

living lie a and p pretend everytything is okokay for many years- v. fair r refaced why les people are facing violence because of compulsory job and the other thing is i knew as little about women's movement in west of the suffragette move i was very fast. by those women who is cheap and now what women in the past can i use it- and they have almost at the same rights as men and equality and i realize that what does the man were successful in their movements because they add me eventually they had the support of normal ordinary men- we award cares and in iran we may right. did their best for forty years but they didn't go anywhere because don't have the support of us so when disk campaign came i realize this is

the moment for me to assign the so called white. twins and the prince if i just for our viewers was to where we- and fill your cellll to where to orr to be e on ways in and- - send d your message to the journalists whoo started the c campaign. and the campaignn was simply asking normal women and men to come foforward and be their voice s o that was the momenent for m me-o join the campaign and at cicivil disobedience and- okay right there was a turning point- however it's in december of two thousand and seventeen- woman. by the name of v. daw moe vide goes in a very well known- the place in the center of tehran decides to take her v veil off put it on a stick. and this really- created quite a stir and for you this was a turning point because this was not only

about wearing whitite it was. taking the job and put it on the stick sure- for before for a few months everybody was talking about complicated job at protesting compulsory job but that's. i have had like. cheaper are like and she was a span there quietly i am 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 civilian. d disobediencnce in te ward am i and i was one of data first men. who followed her path so you started doing- the same the same yeah i have a few days after her few days so quite a few times and eventually what was bound to happen. and you were arrested- by the police to recounted i in the book several of those

arrests and also the. in other violent in then also argues the- of spy yeah. yeah i'm you know i never into that spot in the center of the city i didn't want to get arrested at the same time i was. i i'm i wanted other women and men to join our campaign to see me andnd matt ad in in our in my neighborhood enjoy us i've known by its yeah during interrogation i faced- most horrible things in the ward and- did. that for the most. yes it is and that's fine. that they can do anything your- at cap you you were a lot if i may it because you were able too be defended by a well known lawyer not screen so today- who defended too you 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 only hope although i am i was able to. talk to or contact karen yourur- time i wasue to. by the op de i'm betting that he had for me was to. what did you. end publix i. and told people about the disease that that happened to me and two other women also d. nyada remain. and i'm and- i all. 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 realized. if i may i'm going to die and so decides- to for the country through. into turn yeah

and now you're- - kind of. yourr grades leaving the car. or 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 might 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 teams m. my mind is in iran and- my heart is with my friends and my lawyer right because in the sentences maybe after you've had had become harsher and harsher it is. a group of men those three women who decide on women's day last year to hand out flowers in the subway in tehran bear in the woods they were arrested and now they have very long sent. is it vehicle once of which- my friends close and i wasas who i

was i kidding for me during the time i was out of ststate. was onone of t them was goioing to e ours. but they all can do is- we men are getting braver even though. they see that but there they had done to me or are there other women and men and government wanted i wanted to send a message to all thee remand remand remand- but a at the same time i if you see t the news if f you see the videos you see. even though. twenty four twenty three your sentetence- m. b. men are getting better and braver and i did want to stay composed thank youou job even deal with that. even though the police officers asked them and they are- willing. to provide a stat. i don't believe in these. discrimination really this is still going on or that the movement has been stopped because of the i intimidation because o of other things like

thatat not sly cabin. it's not i like to get up and grarab and below the street but- but they are- they're doing another campaign just to feel the just to make record that off a prisoner's. record the police officers who- who wants to- i raised him and- they're brave enough. you're free to you voted for us on ronnie in two thousand and. thihirteen n you wowouldn'to o the same tododay.f course not whyhy not. when i go to ago i didn'telieve 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. believe the 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
