Very informative, insightful and behind the scene look of what
by Anonymouse on Sat Oct 17, 2009 09:04 AM PDTVery informative, insightful and behind the scene look of what goes on in Evin and most importantly what to do when you are arrested.
I don't recall ever reading or hearing a basic legal advice of what to do if you are arrested so you don't end up "confessing". I really liked this interview.
She talked for 19 minutes and every second she had some very important thing to say. You get a better understandsing of what is going on in Iran and where we are as we speak.
I hope we hear more from her, a lot more.
Everything is sacred.
The Best
