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 w was just s so fed up withth- liviving this d double a liviving lie andnd pretendnd eveverything i is okay. for many years we phrase we y. last people are facing violence 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 have almostst att t the same righthts men and equality and i realize

that i had what does the man were successful in their movements bececause they add me eventually thehey had the suppot of normal ordinary men. and we- what cares and dive in iran women's rights activist did their best for forty years but they didn't go anywhere because they didn't have the support of us so whehen disk campaignn cami realize this is t the moment for me to find the source the white winslet and campaign and the principal but just for a few days was to where- white. on your cell where y y. two to be n ways in and send your- toto the police to stararted campaigign.d the e campaign was simply ask. normal women and men to come forward and be their voice so that was the moment for me- to jojoin the camampaign and- civil disobediencece and-- nonviolenc-

and campaign right there was a turning point- however it's in december of two thousand and seventeen- woman- by the name of the job. more vide goes in a very well known- the place in the center of tehran decides to take her veil off put it on a stick. and this really- created quite a stir- and for you this was a tipping point because this was not onlyy abobout wearg whitee it was. saying that he just popped. it up thank surure for the fourth a few moments to everybody we're talking about composer who job at protesting e authorities that's i'm peacefully has being the saw and it was very beautiful for me because the most beautiful

and peaceful civilian the- this'll be. into war. at and i i was one of the first three men i who followed cat you start to do. the same same l. as days after has days quite a time and eventually was about to happen how as you were the rest of the police. found it in the book us the role. model s. and. the h. of the lines the prison up to i. of yeah i'm you know i never went that spot in the center of city i want to get arrested this time i was. i was i want to other women and men to join our camp to see me as a matter eighteen hour in my neighbor and join us i've known by two do you the inter. i faced most horrible things in the ward and

did that for the most- the scariest india's- that you realize that they can do anything with you when and they 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- defendants you and- is now herself in jail for very long time or shortly after- a actualy 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 situationss she was my only hope a although i am i wasn't't able to. talkk to her contact during the time i was detained by the she- they think that she had done for me was to- to brock's the justice and public size and told people about that is that that how to.
