« Russia Responding to Trump Plan | Main | Arab MK: Israel Experiments on Palestinians » She Took Off Her Hijab & Now Where
By Micah Halpern
Friday February 15, 2019 I've Been Thinking: Remember the woman in Iran who stood up on a transformer, took off her white hijab and waved it like a flag. The woman who was then arrested, fired from her job and convicted of indecency and willingly violating the law. The woman who was sentenced to 3 years in prison and was threatened with taking her child, Viana, away. Before her prison term began the woman, Azam Jangavi escaped Iran with her daughter and is now awaiting asylum. She sat down for a recent interview with Reuters and described her situation and why she took a stand. This is what she said: "I was telling myself: 'Viana should not grow up in the same conditions in this country that you grew up in' ... I found a human smuggler with a lot of difficulty. It all happened very quickly, I left my life, my house, my car behind." Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
