Roqe - Ep#204 – The Uprising: Voices From inside Iran (#2)

Another Special Edition of Roqe addressing the movement for change in Iran and outcry after the killing of Mahsa Amini. On this episode we once again hear from three (different) courageous Iranians who have been on the frontlines demonstrating against the regime in Iran in the last three weeks, and join us to provide a first-hand account of what exactly they are witnessing and experiencing in this volatile moment. “Luna,” who holds a PhD in Fine Arts and has been at the protests every day and was injured by a police baton joins Jian from Tehran. Mostafa, a web content creator in his 20s, who has been very active, joins us from Mashhad. And “Homa,” a young filmmaker and film editor, joins us from Tehran at an undisclosed location where she is in hiding while being sought after by regime authorities. Plus, Jian does his opening essay focused on the de facto leadership and inspiration of Iranian youth right now and the Roqe On Air Team discusses the growing visibility of the Iran situation in Western media and government policies.
