Masih Alinejad(@AlinejadMasih):From inside Iran: Standing at her brother's grave, she said she was afraid of the dawn call to prayer, because under the Islamic Republic, dawn is when prisoners are often taken to the gallows. For her, 'Allahu Akbar' no longer brought thoughts of worship. It brought back the sound of executions, of families waiting for the phone call that their loved one had been hanged. This speech delivered by the sister of Parsa Rezadoost, the 17-year-old student shot dead by Iranian security forces during the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising.
