In this episode we had the privilege of speaking with Nasrin Parvaz, from the Freedom from Torture Survivors Speak OUT Network. Nasrin is an Iranian activist, author and artist, who was imprisoned in Iran for eight years before coming to the UK as a refugee thirty years ago. Nasrin tells us parts of her story, talks about her books and her artwork, and reminds us of the urgency of showing solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers.

We are grateful to Nasrin for her time and openness in recording this podcast with us. We would also like to thank the team at Freedom from Torture for facilitating this podcast taking place.
