Until We’re Free

Her charges were, she was “spreading corruption on earth and denying Allah” – opposing Islamic principles.
“I would rather face death with open arms than live in disgrace, forcibly covered with a veil. I will not kneel before those who expect me to repent for half a century of my struggle for equality between men and women. I am not prepared to wear the chador and take a step backward in history,”
She wrote in her farewell statement. Its heavily attributed in Persian exile publications and Women’s rights advocacy materials.
