1 month agoLOVE AND FREEDOM: THE LIFE OF REZA FANI YAZDI
A story of love, courage, and belief in freedom with Reza Fani Yazdi and his wife Soheila Vahdati. Reza never gave in to brutal torture, or years in prison. It’s all about your identity, about your dignity, about your existence. He says, “Basically, you think, ‘If I break, if I give up, I have lost my dignity. I have lost my existence. Who am I going to be after that?’”
The connected “Education Under Fire” campaign is encouraging concerned citizens of the world to TAKE ACTION and join the Drive to 25– a petition calling for an end to education discrimination in Iran. The Education Under Fire campaign also showcases a 30-minute documentary, co-sponsored by Amnesty, that profiles the growth, struggle, and inspiring spirit of the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education. The film connects a diverse audience to a grave human rights issue, a powerful story of resilience against oppression, and the need to respect human rights everywhere.
