Iranian Human Rights Attorney Nasrin Sotoudeh Shares Petition to Free Husband Reza Khandan From Prison
Iranian human rights attorney and recently released political prisoner Nasrin Sotoudeh wrote in the September 2022 issue of Ms. to express her appreciation for the magazine’s “unreserved support for me and my husband during the harsh days of my imprisonment.”
She described the way politicians around the world gain power and control by oppressing women, and she spoke about facing governmental “pressure that tightened like a noose around our family on a daily basis.”
That pressure was felt again last Dec. 13 when Nasrin’s equally courageous husband Reza Khandan was arrested for his efforts on behalf of women’s rights in Iran.
