About the Program:
In 2022, a twenty-two-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman was killed by Iran’s morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely, triggering nationwide outrage. Journalist Jonathan Harounoff, Israel’s international spokesperson to the United Nations, demystifies the context leading up to the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, while paying tribute to the people of Iran who have paid the ultimate price for freedom.
