Hi Chris,
Imprisoned for drawing a cartoon and prosecuted for shaking hands with her lawyer in prison – this is one young woman’s real-life nightmare.
In our latest ‘In Their Own Words’ (http://webmail.amnesty.org.uk/_act/link.php?mId=J9189917074817674211428806462918&tId=226343914&subjId=101299) podcast, artist and activist Atena Farghadani tells her extraordinary story from Iran, where she has faced horrific punishment for speaking out against the human rights abuses committed by her country.
Listen to Atena's story now (http://webmail.amnesty.org.uk/_act/link.php?mId=J9189917074817674211428806462918&tId=226343917&subjId=101299)
My cell had no window and no toilet. It was only about 3ft wide and 5ft long, so as I leant against the wall, my feet could stretch out and touch the wall opposite me. It was infested with insects. It absolutely felt like I was in a grave.
Atena Farghadani
In 2014, 30-year-old Atena was arrested for a cartoon that she had drawn a few months previously. The art student had depicted members of the Iranian government as monkeys in parliament, in response to new government plans to significantly roll back women's rights and reproductive rights for all in the country.
From this, her terrible ordeal began. Listen to Atena’s story on iTunes now. (http://webmail.amnesty.org.uk/_act/link.php?mId=J9189917074817674211428806462918&tId=226343929&subjId=101299)
