After we secretly brought @kosareftekharii a young Iranian woman blinded in one eye by an Iran’s regime bullet during the Women, Life, Freedom revolution to Germany, I introduced her to two Western leaders: Annalena Baerbock, the feminist foreign minister of Germany, and Mark Rutte, who was then the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Watch their reactions. Watch their body language. Judge for yourself. One bent down in respect and shook the hand of a victim of a terrorist regime. The other wouldn’t even turn the body to shake her hand. I write this for those who ask me why I’m angry these days when I see some of the western leaders do not even dare to call Islamic Republic’s IRGC as terrorist organization. Because we have been advocating for this course for years and hearts have been broken. 💔 @SecGenNATO @ABaerbockArchiv
