Iran’s Orwellian Arrest of Its Leading Female Human-Rights Lawyer
بازداشت وکیل حقوق بشرخانم نسرین ستوده در جنهم مزرعه حیوانات جرج اورلی ایران
I last spoke with Nasrin Sotoudeh in February, when she was defending young women arrested during the so-called Girls of Revolution Street Protest. Female protesters had been hauled off the streets for daring to take off their hijabs—head coverings required by law in Iran—and waving them at the end of a stick, like a flag of liberation. Their hair hung free. Early protesters appeared, symbolically, on the Tehran thoroughfare renamed for the country’s revolution, in 1979, adding a subtle double-entendre to the new women’s crusade. The protest was all the more striking because they acted individually, not en masse, making them more vulnerable to arrest. The women were charged with “a sinful act” and “violating public prudency” as well as “encouraging immorality or prostitution.” The charges carried sentences of up to a decade in prison.
