Hannity and Colmes: Nazanin Afshin-Jam on Plight of Iranian Women

Reprinted from Gateway Pundit


Canadian Model, Actress and Miss World contestant, Nazanin Afshin-Jam, appeared on "Hannity and Colmes" to talk about the jailed Iranian Women's Rights protesters Shadi Sadr and Mahbubeh Abbasgholizadeh.

The two women are being held under extreme conditions in Evin Prison in Tehran after their arrests earlier this month. (3-2007)

Nazanin previously worked as an activist to build international awareness on the situation of Nazanin Mahabad Fatehi, who was sentenced to hang for stabbing one of three men who tried to rape her and her niece in Karaj in March 2005.

Nazanin Fatehi was cleared of murder charges earlier this year and was later released from prison thanks in large part to the work of Nazanin Afshin-Jam.

Nazanin even dedicated her song "Someday the Revolution song" -one of the 12 songs on her album -Someday to Nazanin Fatehi and the other oppressed youth of Iran. "Hopefully I will get to send - or better yet hand deliver- the song to her.” said Nazanin Afshin-Jam in an interview.
