Marie Ranjbar - Iran: Zan, Zendegi, Azadi / Woman, Life, Freedom

Program Title: Marie Ranjbar - Iran: Zan, Zendegi, Azadi / Woman, Life, Freedom
Description: Since mid-September, tens of thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets across the country to protest the government's treatment of girls and women and in particular mandatory dress codes. These historic demonstrations center on women's socio-political rights and democratic governance in Iran. The government has brutally responded. Hundreds have been killed, including children. Many thousands have been arrested. Despite the regime's violent crackdown, protests have only widened. Demonstrators are shouting "Death to the Dictator." The Islamic Republic of Iran, now in its 43rd year, has never faced such sustained and widespread opposition. Can it remain in power? The slogan of the protest movement is Zan, Zendegi, Azadi. Woman. Life. Freedom.
