As an Iranian woman who spent the first 23 years of her life under the Islamic Republic, I have neither the energy nor the patience to politely describe the way people, especially women, are treated in Iran.
I don’t have the capacity to lay out decades of evidence detailing over 40 years of violence against our people or the dictatorship imposed by the Ayatollahs.
What I can say is that Fateme Payman is a propagandist and a blatant liar. If she were to remove her scarf or show even a little extra skin in Iran, she would be treated like garbage.
She calls that “democracy” because she is an Islamist who believes in the practices of the Islamic Republic. She is against Western values and she deserves to be in Afghanistan not Australia or any other free country in the world.
