Shole Pakravan – The tragedy of Reyhaneh and a mother’s work to keep her daughter’s memory alive!

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.Reyhaneh's case/Amnesty urgent action: https://www.amnesty.de/urgent-action/ua-085-2014-2/reyhaneh-jabbari-hingerichtetThe movie about Reyhaneh that was premiered at the Berlinale last week: https://www.berlinale.de/de/2023/programm/202302785.htmlShole's book: "Wie man zum Schmetterling wird" (the book seems to only be available in German so far and was originally publisher by Berlin Verlag) Wie man ein Schmetterling wird von Steffi Niederzoll und Shole Pakravan | PIPERAmnesty Journal: https://www.amnesty.de/amnesty-journal-das-magazin-fuer-die-menschenrechteOn the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, 20 Iranian trade unions and organisations released a joint charter with demands.
