The Real-Life Impact of Transnational Repression: Iranian activist Maryam Shafipour Speaks Out
Today on the podcast, we speak to Iranian human rights activist Maryam Shafipour about Iranian-Canadians who say they are being threatened and monitored by affiliates of the Iranian regime in Canada.
Following seven months of pre-trial detention in Evin Prison, Maryam was sentenced to seven years in prison in March 2014. She was released after 2 years and found refuge in North America where she continues her activism.
This episode is part of a special project supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage. Titled Digital Defenders Initiative, the aim of the project is to uncover transnational repression and foreign manipulation campaigns in Canada, and their impact on the diaspora.
