Woman. Life. Freedom With Nazanin Boniadi
In this timely episode, we explore the horrific events that occurred on September 16th, 2022 when Mahsa Amini tragically died in police custody in Tehran . Reports indicate that she suffered severe brutality at the hands of the so-called morality police. She was arrested for not adhering to their strict compulsory hijab laws. She had no pre-existing health conditions according to her family. This incident served as a catalyst for a global movement aimed at eradicating gender apartheid and bringing about a secular democracy for the Iranian people: "Woman.Life.Freedom".
Join Kevin as he hears the inspiring stories of courageous individuals speaking out. With guests Nazanin Boniadi, an Iranian Actress and Activist and a brave Advocate and Activist named Roya Piraei, both dedicated to bringing about justice and freedom for the people of their homeland.
