Sepideh Qolian, an Iranian labor activist, recently released from Evin Prison, critiques Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's war justification for democracy in Iran. Active in the Women, Life, Freedom movement, Qolian emphasizes that war does not equate to liberation and labels the current violence as contradictory to their aspirations for a better life. Although acknowledging widespread dissent against the Iranian regime, she highlights the historical context of protests while cautioning against idealizing military interventions. This complex scenario underscores tensions between external military actions and internal opposition movements in Iran.
I know that war won't bring democracy,
The life that we wanted is the mirror opposite of the terrible events that are now happening.
