“REFUSED TO BE BROKEN BY THE REGIME”
Hamidreza Mohammadi described his sister as a force of nature who refuses to be bowed.
“The thing that makes Narges so special is that she has broken this cliche of a prisoner who has been long in prison and is broken and sad,” he said.
“She has always been energetic and she has refused to be broken by the regime.”
He last spoke with her the day before her latest arrest in December and said even contacting his family in Iran is difficult amid the ongoing war with the US and Israel, which he said the authorities were using to justify oppression.
“The situation in Iran is not like anything before. It’s an emergency. And we know that lives of a lot of people are in danger. We see executions that are carried out every day,” Mohammadi said.
While the war is attracting global attention, the international community should focus on the plight of the Iranian people and human rights in Iran, he added.
“The world should wake up,” Mohammadi said.
