Yasaman Aryani protested with flowers against the dress code in Iran on Women's Day. For this, the young woman was sentenced to 16 years in prison. Support Yasaman!

Well-known Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has been sentenced to 38 years in prison and 148 lashes in two unfair trials. She has been held in Tehran's Evin Prison since her arrest on June 13, 2018. The charges against them are based solely on their peaceful human rights work, such as their commitment to women's rights and their campaign against the death penalty. She is thus a prisoner of conscience who must be released immediately and unconditionally.
As a lawyer, she stands up for women who peacefully protest against the compulsory veils laid down by law in Iran.

The video shows interviews with:
- the Iranian human rights activist Mansoureh Shojaee
- Christian Ehring, who talks about his commitment to three human rights activists who are cared for by the Krefeld Amnesty Group and calls on them to get involved.
- the Iranian journalist Farhad Payar (Iran Journal)
