Thousands of 'hostages in Iran' held for rejecting elements of Sharia law: Iranian journalist

Journalist and activist Masih Alinejad says “there are many people right now who are hostages” in Iran for rejecting elements of Sharia law. “I’m giving voice to 15,000 people who got killed in Iran protesting last November,” she said. “I’m giving voice to the women inside Iran who are actually brave and powerful women who practice their civil disobedience in the streets, removing their Hijab and saying we don’t want to be forced to wear the veil. “I’m giving voice to the mothers whose sons and daughters got killed in Iran protests.” Commenting on her personal experiences Ms Alinejad said, “they took my brother hostage to keep me silent”. “If the American government … is really looking for stability in the region, then they cannot just go and negotiate with the most unstable government in the world.”
