LELA GILBERT MEDIA APPEARANCES
SPECIAL FEATURE
Masih Alinejad has recently been in the news because of an exposed Iranian government plot to kidnap her and return her to Iran. The mullahs fear her courageous reporting about the regime’s brutal injustices. Masih is recognized by millions of global admirers for inspiring protests against the Iranian regime’s enforced mandatory hijab.
She believes that the compulsory wearing of the traditional women’s Islamic head covering is a visual symbol of submission to Sharia law, and more specifically of female submission to overbearing male authority. And through her videos and interviews, she has developed an enormous social media following for her Facebook page “MyStealthyFreedom” and her Twitter hashtag #WhiteWednesdays.
It was my honor to meet Masih a couple of years ago and to interview her.
