Nasrin Sotoudeh - Protecting human rights in Iran | DW Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2023
- Nasrin Sotoudeh has been fighting for children, women and the persecuted in Iran for nearly four decades. The lawyer and human rights activist risks her freedom again and again. Her commitment has made her a symbol of resistance and hope.
38 years and 148 lashes. Even in the face of barbaric punishments, Nasrin Sotoudeh continues her peaceful struggle. A covert camera accompanies her on her mission, showing viewers new sides of Iran. Nasrin has long been compared to other great human rights activists such as Nelson Mandela. Nasrin's 21-year-old daughter Mehraveh has also joined her mother's fight.
With Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi, Nasrin founded the Center for the Protection of Human Rights in Iran in 2006. In 2010, she was arrested for defending demonstrators from an opposition movement. A year later, she was sentenced to 11 years in prison. After worldwide protests and appeals to the Iranian government, she was released early in 2013.
But since 2018, the winner of the Sakharov Human Rights Prize has been imprisoned yet again. She is accused of "anti-state propaganda." But even from the notorious Gharchak prison in southern Tehran, the 57-year-old continues her peaceful fight against injustice. Just one example: Nasrin protested the prison conditions for political prisoners during the Corona pandemic with a hunger strike lasting nearly 50 days.

“On October 29, 2023 Nasrin Sotoudeh was beaten and arrested for attending the funeral of 16-year-old Armita Geravand, who was killed for not hearing a hijab. Nasrin is being held at Qarchak Women’s Prison which inmates call, 'The end of the world.' She has a heart condition and is experiencing chest pains, but the officials won't let her see a doctor because she 'categorically refuses to wear a hijab' There is no word yet on whether she will be freed or sent back to Evin Prison.” - Reza Khandan
Is her medical condition as bad as Fatemeh Sepehri? Let's be honest.😊
Reza Khandan is left wing husband of Nasrin Sotoudeh.
Thank you to those who chose to film this project even with the possible risks from doing so. I am glad someone did to get this story out.

Thank you, Nasrin, you are the real hero.
They should force the men to wear blindfolds in public if they can't control themselves.
Mandatory hijab for women is just as unpopular among men as it is among women.
Can you add Portuguese subtitles please?
Is there any update?

Pray she is released and united with family. Can you do a documentary on whether or not there is support from other national leaders towards freedom of human rights?
❤from bc canada
1) As a son of mother who is political worker in Pakistan, I'm so much depressed to this. I can never ever imagine my mother to be imprisoned just because she is activist.
2) The sentence "If you force to wear hijab you'll do everything" reminded me of France Laws of "not to wear" same brutal as this.
3)The footage of Nasreen behind glass taking on phone sparked the image of Dr Afia Siddiqui illegally imprisoned in America.
4) Alas to all the brutality on our mothers sisters and overall females. may Allah helps us. Ameen
Well, in France hijab is allowed. Only not in - : schools, because some muslim girls are known to be forced to wear it, and this cannot be allowed - in Uni however, they can wear it as it is assumed they are old enough to choose for themselves; also government jobs as this piece of cloth do not represent the country's values. In France, all women are protected, even the muslim. If an imam says they are inferior to men, the mosque where he preaches can be closed for 6 months or so. So is that so bad ?
Equating France with Iran. You can't be serious. Imagine if all non Muslims where this obsessed with a single country where they openly arnt fully liked. It isn't even possible
Another wonderful and truthful documentary was shared by a respectful 🙏 ( DW) documentary channel about a brave woman 🙏👩 🤍 in Iran 🇮🇷. How can she struggles for human rights preventing through legal, lowering legitimate methods,confront former policeman 🚔 strict and former Court of Iran 🇮🇷 under .authority committee unprovoked prosecution's by detective men tortures to ward's secularist innocent victims in Iran 🇮🇷... good luck and best wishes for her🦁 🤍🙏and I hope the liberation of the Iran 🇮🇷 population from the Iran regime cage and Western sanctions ,westerners embargoes in meantime

What did happen in 224 AD (Ardeshir I era)?
Nothing… it’s a factually wrong statement seems to be based on a German orientalist speech, Professor Christian Bartholomae a century ago that he himself contradicted in his other works and been debunked many times.
They couldn’t blame Islam for women rights abolishment as would be politically incorrect (Islamophobia), so they blame Zoroastrianism cause there is no such a thing as Zoroastrianismophobia 😅…
Women had plenty of rights during Sassanid Empire, specially compared to other countries ie to own properties, educate, divorce, remarriage, asking for dowry and heirloom.
As a matter of fact Borandukht inherited the throne to become an emperor and one of the most famous generals of Sassanid Empire who won many battles against the Muslim army was a woman namely Apranik.
It’s obvious that they try hard not to attribute Islam to any of the women rights issues in Iran, even they called the Islamic Revolution, Iranian Revolution and constantly trying to make it an Iranian issue not the Islamic regime ruling in Iran one.
Wow

This is not a religion or belief that gives you meaning of your life . Someone still has to make voice for their rights. İf you are not a muslim thats completely what do you mean you can be chris, buddha. As much as the religion that you believe gives freedom the others. İf this not the case thats better not at all.
Amazing documentary but this 0:08 statement is totally wrong..!!
This statement seems to be mainly based on a speech by Professor Christian Bartholomae on ‘The woman’s rights in the Sassanid’s Empire’ at University of Heidelberg in 1924 and quoted by many. But now we know that it is totally wrong. As a matter of fact if the director of the documentary had read his works completely, would have known that he himself contradicted in many of his works as he, himself show how much rights Iranian women had during the Sassanid Empire all the way till Islamic army conquered Iran.
Generally it is true that during the Sassanid Empire many of the women rights reduced but as well as men rights… in most cases, they both reduced equality as it was a class system then and not all ppl had the same rights.. Also as Sassanid became more and more religious specially after 5th century didn’t help much neither.
Saying that, it is now proven that all the way till the end of Sassanid Empire (7th-8th century) women had plenty of rights ie to own properties, educate, divorce, remarriage, asking for dowry and heirloom.
As a matter of fact during Sassanid Empire, We’ve had Empresses that inherited the throne ie Borandukht, and famous women generals ie Apranik
But this statement would be valid if it was from 7th century when Islamic army conquered Iran and during the Arab Empires ruling Iran… but seems that would be politically incorrect to attribute women rights demolishing to Islam (Islamophobic), but there is no Zoroastrianophobic word dictionary so let’s blame that religion. Thus, a century old statement from a factually debunked speech had to be chosen to disconnect the obvious link between Islam and the abolishment of women rights in Iran.
Women Life Freedom ❤
Wish I could name one of my daughters after her.
This is one family that puts their money where their mouth is. She has stood by the Iranian people and has defended their rights without becoming a stooge of foreign powers and for that sShe has won the hearts and minds of so many who wish freedom for Iranian people without Iran to become a client State of the big powers.
The self elected leader of the current movement could learn a lesson or two from her.
I bow my head to her and her family for their devotion to freedom for Iranian people.
The land of zorashtrians now under cult of shia islam the culture traditions all are vanished long ago😔😔
I don’t respect Shirin Ebadi ! Even though she was the first female judge during the Reza Pahlavi (Shah)she participated in revelation of Iran!
Please update your information about today's Iranian women Symbol, we have many symbols. I refer you to Iran's media and inside of Iran. New generation & protestors have other symbols.
Women life freedom
it would also be good if DW (German media) gave coverage over the presence of Hossein Ali Naeiri (an Islamic republic judge who killed 30,000 political prisoners) in Hanover recently. Germany seems to not have changed and still possesses the same lack of empathy for humanity it has also had in the past. it would be good for so-called investigative journalists to also cover this clear lack of respect for humanity.
Deutsche Welle do you know who is Niac and it’s the most disrespectful society for Iranians in diaspora at the moment? Few people in this documentary production team are from Niac. This makes the viewer suspicious of the purpose of the Deutsche Welle to produce this documentary! Thank you

What an inspiration. Nasrin, a true hero of our global society!
Please share Nasrin’s example..
Nasrin Sotoudeh is nobody more than a regime reformist. She is not in jail but living in a hotel

Mollahs are reviving zoroastrian Persia. I’m so happy for this. Finally, this pest, this pest is getting kicked out of my holy zoroastrian Persia after 1500 years 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Fatemeh Seoehri is a brave Iranian woman who despite heart surgery, kept in prison in solitary captivity. Why don't you make any program about her? Isn't it because she is not part of communists part or left move party? Why do you discriminate?😊
Nasrin Sotodeh actually doesn't represent Iranian women. She is mainly stood up for her right to work which is brave but please dont exaggerate on people's role in Iranian movement. 😊😊

Taking hijab off aint pronudity, it's all about personal preference nd wht it means to her
“Religion has ever been anti-human, anti-woman, anti-life, anti-peace, anti-reason and anti-science. The god idea has been detrimental not only to humankind but to the earth. It is time now for reason, education and science to take over.”

Women have the -right- privilege to vote without signing up for the Selective Service. The -right- privilege to own property despite not building any
So you don’t have the right to food or water unless you grew or collected it yourself?
Did you build your house? If not you have the privilege to own it, not a right.
You mean the privilege to own property that was either built or bought by their husbands courtesy of Family Court.

Yet more propaganda feom DW.
How about DW report on fascism and racism in germany, america, the uk, france, israel and all the rest
How is it a propaganda…? Nasrin is a lie or what she has been doing or what has been recorded hadn’t been happening in Iran..?

Western propaganda...
Hmmmm...before Islam (530 BC) women owned property, managed finances, are educated and has the right to choose their spouses. After Islam (224 AD) women rights were reduced to that of children and slaves. Islam is amazing.
This is why government should not be involved or have laws based religion, conservatives, and republicans say America was founded on christianity, this is not true, It's a lie that religious leaders have told them, American was founded on the freedom to believe what you want, and that the government will not endorse or support any religions, and not have any laws or regulations based on religions. We should be inspired by this woman, and stand up for separation of government and religion.
How many indigenous people died for white liberals died for human right and so called Atheist laws have any ideas 😂😂😂????
Well done job 🇮🇷 irani government Well done job it's not alow in Iran, Iran is Islamic law country ok
