Roqe Ep#203 - The Uprising: Where (the hell) is the Western world?

Another special edition of Roqe during the current uprising in Iran, this time focusing on the infuriating inattention of Western leaders, corporations, and media while the regime in Iran continues its brutal crackdown on youthful protestors. Jian is joined by prominent voices from across the Iranian Diaspora, including: Dr. Mehrzad Boroujerdi in Los Angeles Nazenin Ansari in London, UK Arash Sobhani in New York, Armin Amiri in Los Angeles Shirin Nasseri in London, UK. Plus, the Roqe on-air team reflects on the global day of action that took place at the weekend with various demonstrations organized globally in solidarity with Iranians inside Iran, the meager efforts of Western leaders when it comes to human rights in Iran, a viral song by Shervin and the unexpected (albeit spotty) unity of the diaspora.
