The revolution in Iran is "gaining momentum", Iranian activist and journalist Masih Alinejad has told LBC.The exchange has come as Iran has been rocked by anti-government protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody.She also said: "For 40 years, women in Iran have been told what to wear, how to think, what kind of lifestyle to follow."This is just the beginning of the end.
Later in the exchange, Mrs Alinejad also told Shelagh: "It didn't need for hundreds of people to be killed for the whole world to understand that this is like ISIS in power in Iran killing women.
He also told James that he thinks “this is a major feminist movement happening under our very eyes, and if we don't get behind it then shame on us really”. Iranian authorities have said Mahsa suffered sudden heart failure after she was taken into custody, but her father Amjad Amini has denied that she had been in bad health.
