3.1 Woman, Life, Freedom: Iranian Protests in Estonia

With Iran being rocked by protests, the world has taken notice. From record-breaking online support, to women cutting off their hair, to human chains and solidarity marches, people all over the world have expressed solidarity with this women-led movement for freedom, including activists here in Estonia. In our first episode of the new season, host Terry McDonald talks to Iranian poet and TLU student Maliheh Keshmiri about the origin of these protests, and TLU PhD Candidate in Middle East Studies Sandra Peets about why people in Estonia should care about them. We also discuss how you can help the protestors from wherever you are.
