A survivor of the 1988 Iranian massacre of political prisoners has spoken out in an op-ed for the National Post.
Mostafa Naderi spoke of his relief that Canadian-Iranian academic Homa Hoodfar had been released from Evin prison and if anyone should know what she’s been through, it’s him.
Naderi, who was imprisoned in Iran for 11 years, was arrested in 1981 at just 17 years old for political dissent and promoting human rights. He had been caught selling the publication of the Regime’s main opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
