In this article, the actress Nazanin Boniadi writes about human rights in Iran. She talks about how her counterpart, an actress and activist, in Iran faces prison time for her peaceful support of the opposition candidate in the 2009 and 2011 elections, and her support of women and young people. She, along with around 845 other Iranians, faces prison time for simply supporting her own independent views. Boniadi stresses how the mass media always covers Iran's nuclear news, but does not give the same amount of coverage time to the equally important human rights issues. It is especially important for young students such as those in ap government to be aware of the human rights conflicts in Iran.
