’I could visit Iran, but I wouldn’t get out alive’

Raha Heshmatikhah In 2009 there were major protests in Iran. And again in 2017 and 2019 Iranians rebelled against Ali Khamenei's regime. But never before have the protests been as massive and outspoken as those of recent weeks, and never has there been so much international attention. How do Raha Heshmatikhah, a Master's student in Clinical Psychology and Pooyan Tamimi Arab , an Associate Professor of Religious Studies - UU community members with Iranian roots - look at the situation in Iran? I feel so much solidarity with the people there. If they dare to stand up, then surely, as a Dutch citizen, I should also take responsibility and do everything I can. And that is exactly what Raha does. In recent weeks she didn't get much sleep.
