>> THE LEADERSHIP HAS LED THEM
ASTRAY TO.
THEY ARE LEADERSHIP DENIED THEM
THE ABILITY TO FEED THEIR
FAMILIES AND HOW PROSPERITY AND
SECURITY.
I THINK THE IRANIAN PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE
LEADERSHIPS ACTIVITIES NEED TO
CHANGE, AND INCREDIBLY
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS SEPARATE FROM
THE IRANIAN PEOPLE TO GET FROM
IT WITH A RICHLY DESERVE.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE
IRANIAN PEOPLE.
>> Sandra: THAT HIS
SECRETARY MIKE POMPEO WITH
SUPPORT OF THE IRANIAN PEOPLE
TODAY AFTER ANNOUNCING THE U.S.
CARRIED OUT STRIKES AGAINST AN
IRANI IMPACT MILITIA GROUP IN
IRAQ AND SYRIA.
THE ESCALATING TENSION ON THE
HEELS OF A BRUTAL AND DEADLY
GOVERNMENT CRACKDOWN IN IRAN.
MORE THAN 1,000 CITIZENS
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED
BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT.
MY NEXT GUEST IS IN DIRECT
CONTACT WITH MANY PROTESTERS.
HER MOVEMENT KNOWN AS MY
STEALTHY FREEDOM.
BRAVE ENOUGH TO SHED THEIR JOB
AND BE PHOTOGRAPHED AND MANY ARE
IN PRISON.
NOW, WHOSE SON WAS SHOT DEAD
DURING IRANI IN PROTEST.
SHE HAD TEN OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS
ARRESTED AFTER SPEAKING OUT ON
HIS BEHALF.
>> TODAY WE HAVE BEEN SUMMONED
TO THE INTELLIGENT SERVICE.
I AM ASKING FOR MY DEAR ONE TO
BE ABLE TO HELP ME TO SPEAK OF.
SO I CAN DEPEND MY SON WHO WAS
KILLED IN COLD BLOOD.
>> HERE NOW ACTIVISTS MASIH
ALINEJAD.
THE AUTHOR OF "THE WIND IN MY
HAIR THE FIGHT FOR MY FREEDOM IN
MODERN IRAN," THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> Sandra: I KNOW YOU BEEN IN
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE MOTHER.
HOW IS SHE HAD WHAT ARE YOU
HEARING FROM THE MOTHER?
>> IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
SHE WAS JUST ACTUALLY TALKING
ABOUT HOW THE GOVERNMENT TO KILL
HER SON IN FRONT OF HER EYES.
SHE WAS WITH HIM AND BOTH OF
THEM, AGAINST THE REPUBLIC BUT
AS SOON AS THEY FACED TEARGAS,
SHE LOST HER SON.
AND THEN AFTER A MINUTE,
ACTUALLY, SHE SAID TO ME IN AN
INTERVIEW, A PHONE INTERVIEW, I
SAW MY SON'S BUDDY COME WITH
PEOPLE CARRYING THE BODY IN
FRONT OF HER EYES, SO SHE WAS A
WITNESS OF HER SON'S DEATH.
THAT IS WHY SHE COULD NOT KEEP
SILENT.
SHE CALLED FOR A PUBLIC
GATHERING FOR PUBLIC SERVICE.
THAT IS WHY THE GOVERNMENT FIRST
SUMMONED THEM, INTEGRATING THEM
FOR THREE HOURS, THE MOTHER.
THE FATHER, BOTH OF THEM WERE
INTERROGATED IN THE VIDEO YOU
SHOWED US WAS BEFORE GOING INTO
SEGREGATION.
AND THEN THEY REFUSED TO CANCEL
THE PUBLIC SERVICE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE GOVERNMENT ARRESTED THEM,
THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER, AND AT
LEAST 11 FAMILY MEMBERS TO KEEP
THEM SILENT.
>> Sandra: SHE IS BEING
DETAINED AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS
INCLUDING A MEMBER OF YOUR OWN
FAMILY.
>> YOU KNOW, THIS IS CALLED A
HOSTAGE TAKING.
REUTERS, KILLED 1500 PEOPLE IN
THREE DAYS.
IT IS A MASSACRE.
AND THEN THEY DON'T EVEN ALLOW
THE FAMILY TO GO AND MOURN, TO
CRY FOR JUSTICE.
SO THEY TAKE THE FAMILY MEMBERS
HOSTAGE LIKE THEY DID MY
BROTHER.
THEY ARRESTED MY BROTHER, WHY?
I'M THE ONLY ONE RIGHT NOW GOING
TO CNN, FOX NEWS, TO SPEAK UP.
THESE ARE THE FAMILIES GIVEN ME
A CHANCE TO BE THEIR VOICES.
I HAVEN'T INTERVIEWED THE FAMILY
OF MANY PROTESTERS WHO HAVE BEEN
SHOT IN THE HEAD, SHOT IN THE
CHEST, WHY?
THEY WANT TO BE FREE OF IRAN AND
THEY ARE FED UP WITH THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
BECAUSE THEY TAKE TO THE STREETS
IN SAYING, WHY SUFFERING FOR NOT
HAVING MONEY?
WHY DO YOU SEND MONEY TO SYRIA,
LEBANON, YEMEN, IRAN?
THAT IS WHY THE GOVERNMENT
KILLED THEM IN THE STREETS.
>> Sandra: SECRETARY OF STATE
MIKE POMPEO SENDING OUT A TWEET
SAYING THIS "THE U.S. STRONGLY
DENOUNCES THE ARREST OF THE
PARENTS AND CLOSE FOR THE
IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
IT IS TIME FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITIES TO STAND TOGETHER
WITH THE IRANIAN PEOPLE AND HOLD
THE REGIME ACCOUNTABLE."
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN TERMS
OF ACTION AND WORDS FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY?
>> TO BE HONEST, THE SECOND WHEN
I WALKED OUT ON THE STAGE CAN
MAKE YOU FORGET THE SITUATION.
BUT I AM IN TOUCH WITH THE
PEOPLE IN MY HEART IS BROKEN.
BECAUSE THE INTER -- THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE DID
NOTHING.
AND IN PARIS, THE FRENCH
GOVERNMENT, McCRONE, THE
PRESIDENT, ALL OF THE LEADERS
OF FREE WAR, CONDEMNING CARING
ATTACKS, BUT THEY SEE ON A DAILY
BASIS, ATTACKS HAPPENING IN
IRAN.
THE LEADERS ARE LOOKING FOR
DEALS TO SHAKE HANDS WITH THE
LEADER OF THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
SO THAT BREAKS MY HEART.
THE MASSACRE HAPPENS, AND WHAT I
SEE THE PARLIAMENT CONDEMNED
BOTH SIDES, CONDEMN VIOLENCE
FROM PEOPLE.
1500 PEOPLE GOT KILLED AND THE
DASH AND THE PEOPLE OF IRAN,
THAT BREAKS MY HEART.
I WANT THE REST OF THE WORLD NOT
ONLY JUST -- FROM THE PROTESTERS
TO HAVE COMPASSION.
>> Sandra: THE WHITE HOUSE IS
ESCALATING PRESSURE AND
