'I was attracted by her mind, her activism and her sense of civic duty. When you respect and accept someone’s individuality and freedom, it goes beyond the hijab or clothing choices.' MsReads via CNN
In the Spring of 2018, two men in Tehran had a humble but risky plan to show support for women who were protesting Iran’s compulsory hijab laws. Reza Khandan is a graphic designer, the husband of renowned human rights attorney Nasrin Sotoudeh, and a father of two. Farhad Meysami is a physician, teacher and textbook publisher.
How has that stayed with you all these years? Nasrin: The day they came to arrest me, Reza was busy making these buttons. As it happened, I had one pinned to my jacket when they took me away and brought me to prison. I was in the car with five officers, four men and a woman. The older man next to me said, ‘What’s that on you?’ And I said, ‘Oh, it’s a button about my opposition to the compulsory hijab.’ And he didn’t reply. He just ignored it.
