‘You have to kill me’: This Iranian journalist refuses to be silenced
Full convo on our podcasts page.
Photojournalist Yalda Moaiery received a 15-year prison sentence for documenting deadly protests in Iran. But she’s still waiting for the Iranian regime to arrest her, if they ever do.
She joins Jason to talk about her alleged crime and how the government uses severe prison sentences to silence reporters and political dissent.
“It’s better to be in jail than be part of their propaganda,” Moaiery says. The conversation is a personal account of the costs of journalism and the determination to keep doing it.
