Roqe Ep#202 – Special Edition: The Uprising - Voices From inside Iran

Another Special Edition of Roqe addressing the movement for change in Iran and the outcry after the killing of Mahsa Amini. After our last two editions assembling voices across the diaspora, in this episode, there is a different approach and we hear from three courageous Iranians who have been on the frontlines demonstrating against the regime in Iran in the last two weeks, and join us to provide a first-hand account of what exactly they are witnessing and experiencing in this volatile moment. “Sara,” a young professional employed in the field of logistics, joins Jian from Tehran, “Elham,” a young English teacher is on the line from Mashhad, and “Sam,” a filmmaker and musician, shares his experience from Tehran. Plus, the Roqe on-air team discuss the latest news regarding the arrests of many prominent Iranians, and pays tribute to Shervin Hajipour, now detained in Iran, by playing his epic and viral protest song, “Baraye.”
