Roqe Ep#209 - The Uprising: The Rebirth of Iranian Pride

Another special edition of Roqe focused on the growing revolution in Iran. Feature guests include Swedish-Iranian psychotherapist author, Shirin Amani Azari, back in London after attending the historic Berlin rally for Iran, and Dr. Fereydoon Rahmani, Associate Professor at York University in the Roqe studio, about the view of the uprising from the Kurdish community. Jian opens the show with an essay entitled, “The Rebirth of Iranian Pride” and convenes a Roqe Roundtable discussion with Pegah, Shaya and longtime Roqe on-air voice Kyan Nademi back in studio about the massive rally in Berlin on the weekend, unity and disunity in the diaspora, the spectre of social media hacks from the IRI, and the spreading of fear inside Iran.
