Parastu recently wrote an article about her interview with Shole Pakravan, whose daughter Reyhaneh Jabbari was executed in 2014. In this episode Parastu talks about Shole, her daughter’s innocence and fight for justice, and her own experience of meeting this wonderful, dedicated and loving woman whose life mission is to ensure her daughter’s tale is never forgotten.

It is a very emotional episode which Parastu thankfully illuminates with occasional laughter.

The links below relate to the story, Shole’s book, Reyhaneh’s sacrifice and the docufilm.

Thank you very much Parastu for your time.

On the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, 20 Iranian trade unions and organisations released a joint charter with demands. I forgot to mention that but I find it very important especially as most news outlets are covering the so-called diapsora "opposition" led by Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Golshifteh Farahani, Nazanin Boniadi and Shirin Ebadi: https://iranwire.com/en/politics/113866-iranian-trade-unions-civic-groups-issue-charter-of-minimum-demands/
