Season 3, Episode 2: Supporting the Iranian Protests with Nazanin Afshin-Jam MacKay

This episode features Nazanin Afshin-Jam MacKay, an award-winning international human rights activist, and the co-founder of the organization Stop Child Executions. We discussed why her family immigrated to Canada, what it is like to be a woman in Iran right now, and how she feels when she hears the protest song “Baraye” by Shervin Hajipour. We also talked about what the Canadian government can do to support change in Iran, including the possibility of seizing and repurposing the frozen assets of sanctioned Iranians.
