A free Iran may come from a cooperation between Iranians and Israel, said Peyman Vian, one of the most wanted women by Tehran authorities, in an interview with the Israeli journalist Itai Anghel, N12 reported on Thursday.
Vian is the commander of the Iranian-Kurdish PJAK, the fighters of the Kurdistan Free Life Party, an underground movement of Iranian exiles who operate against the Islamic regime. According to N12, they are the "most powerful" guerrilla force fighting against the Islamic Republic's current government.
Vian's dream is to expand protests in Iran and achieve freedom through the revolution, she told Anghel.
“Kurdish women have always been the ones standing at the forefront of the struggle for freedom throughout the Middle East, and they are now providing inspiration to women in Iran,” Vian added.
'For some of us to live, some of us must die'
Anghel met with a number of other Kurdish women fighters, who, he said, are integral to the fight.
“When the time comes, and everything is ready, we will attack the bases and the centers of the regime. We will return to our country, even to Tehran itself, to continue our struggle,” says Rovar, a company commander, in an interview with Anghel. She is one of the Iranian-Kurdish women PJAK fighters training to fight for the liberation of the Kurdish regions.
Those women decided to fight for their people's freedom, the Israeli journalist reported.
“For some of us to live, some of us must die. I will definitely fight and sacrifice myself if necessary,” said Govand, another one of the underground fighters.
'Where can I find justice for these tortures?'
In addition to the PJAK fighters, Anghel also met with a regime opponent who spoke openly about the torture he endured at the hands of the Revolutionary Guards.
Near the Iraq-Iran border, the Israeli journalist interviewed Jafar, a social activist who came to the Revolutionary Guards' radar years ago and was especially active during the 2022 “Women, Equality, Freedom” protests, according to N12.
“We transferred medicines to the wounded, provided shelter for the injured, and also sent money to prisoners they refused to release. The intelligence services summoned me again and again and tortured me,” said the activist.
Jafar said that he had to hide the fact that he had been raped by three men, who beat the activist and filmed the sexual assault.
"Where can I find justice for these tortures?” he asked.
