Ghazaleh Nozamani talking about the current protests in her home country of Iran at her house in Yarrow on Oct. 3, 2022. Chilliwack woman from Iran once tortured by the Revolutionary Guard ponders country’s future Nozamani calls the Iranian regime a terrorist state capable of not only assassination, but causing economic turmoil in other countries as well.Some politicians in Europe stepped up in December to sponsor detainees, and they publicly talk about them on Twitter, and post when they get updates on the status of those individuals. Ye-One Rhie, an MP in the German Bundestag, sponsored Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi who was arrested on Oct.
“We know that endorsements by elected officials in Europe have already brought the plight of detainees to the forefront and have declared to the regime that they are being watched – that there are advocates keeping track of the lives and well-being of many of the victims of the violent crackdowns imposed by the ruling regime.”
