Roqe Ep#250 - Baluchistan Deserves Our Gratitude - Rostam Mirlashari

A new edition of Roqe focused on the uprising in Iran and particularly, the southeast region of Baluchistan, including a feature interview with the internationally recognized “Prince of Baluchi music,” Iranian-Swedish folk musician Rostam Mirlashari, in the Roqe Studio. Jian begins the episode with a heartfelt audio essay praising the resilience of the people of Zahedan in Sistan and Baluchistan who have kept the burning flame of revolution alive. And Pegah joins Jian for a Roqe Roundup to recap a few pivotal days of activity in Toronto for the Iranian community this past week, and a new-but-unsurprising announcement regarding compulsory hijab laws in Iran.
