The U.N.’s high commissioner for human rights called for an independent investigation into violations of human rights in Iran. But some Iranian Americans in San Diego are tired of waiting.
For 71 days now, thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets to protest the regime.
It all started with the death of an Iranian woman detained by the morality police in September. Since then, human rights groups have reported thousands of arrests and the killing of hundreds, including children. “All the people in Iran are in danger, they are killing everyone,” said Sara Bahrani-Kamangar, an Iranian-American woman living in San Diego.Get San Diego local news, weather forecasts, sports and lifestyle stories to your inbox.“I was in that situation,” said Bahrani-Kamangar. “I know how those kids feel when they see the dead bodies of their parents because I was like that.”
Her father was killed in Iran when she was a little girl. She said once she became a mother, she left to get her kids out of the country, but the rest of her family is still living there. “Yesterday I talked to my sister and I started crying because I am worried for them,” said Bahrani-Kamangar.
