‘Wars don't bring democracy, they don't bring freedom'
We spoke to Iranian author Sahar Delijani. Her book 'Children of the Jacaranda Tree' is based on her family's experience as political dissidents. It describes how her uncle was killed by the Islamic regime for his opposition, and her own birth in prison.
She now lives in the U.S. and is a supporter of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement that emerged after the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022. We started by asking her if she'd heard from family members in Iran.
