Iranian State Television Faked My Rape [the story behind My Stealthy Freedom]
I just found out about this person & organization so I'm posting it for everyone else who might not know about it.
After starting
a Facebook page where women could post pictures of themselves without their hijab, the state launched a violent smear campaign against me.
Last weekend, I was raped by three men in London. Under the influence of mind-altering drugs, I had removed items of clothing, and the men raped me in front of my son.
That is what the Iran state TV reported in a short news segment about me.
Iranian television, which is controlled by the hardliners, uses George Orwell’s 1984 as an operating manual. Fact and fiction are blended to create a parallel universe at odds with reality as you and I know it.
For the record, I was never assaulted or raped or took any mind-altering drugs.
Why the smear campaign against me? I started a Facebook page, called My Stealthy Freedom, where I asked women about their desires to be without the veil. I was bombarded with selfies of women without their scarves.
The page, which has racked up nearly 500,000 “likes” in five weeks, has sparked a debate on the country’s 35-year-old law that forces women to wear head-covering and other forms of hijab.
