This is true. Justinian shut down the ancient Platonic Academy in Athens and gave the pagans and neo-Platonists an ultimatum to embrace Christianity within three months or suffer death. According to Agathias, several neo-Platonist philosophers (e.g. Damascius, Simplicius of Cilicia, and Priscian of Lydia) fled to Persia to escape persecution from the Romans/Byzantines. « Ἐν αὐτῷ δὲ τῷ χρόνῳ διωγμὸς γέγονεν Ἑλλήνων μέγας, καὶ πολλοὶ ἐδημεύθησαν, ἐν οἷς ἐτελεύτησαν Μακεδόνιος, Ἀσκληπιόδοτος, Φωκᾶς ὁ Κρατεροῦ, καὶ Θωμᾶς ὁ Κοιαίστωρ· καὶ ἐκ τούτου πολὺς φόβος γέγονεν. ἐθέσπισε δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς βασιλεὺς ὥστε μὴ πολιτεύεσθαι τοὺς ἑλληνίζοντας, τοὺς δὲ τῶν ἄλλων αἱρέσεων ὄντας ἀφανεῖς γενέσθαι τῆς Ῥωμαϊκῆς πολιτείας, προθεσμίαν τριῶν μηνῶν λαβόντας εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι αὐτοὺς κοινωνοὺς τῆς ὀρθοδόξου πίστεως. ὅστις θεῖος τύπος ἐνεφανίσθη ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐξωτικαῖς πόλεσιν... Επί δε της υπατείας του αυτού Δεκίου ο αυτός βασιλεύς [sc. ὁ Ιουστινιανός] θεσπίσας πρόσταξιν ἔπεμψεν ἐν Ἀθήναις, κελεύσας μηδένα διδάσκειν φιλοσοφίαν μήτε νόμιμα [vl. ἀστρονομίαν] ἐξηγεῖσθαι, μήτε κόττον ἐν μιᾷ τῶν πόλεων γίνεσθαι, ἐπειδὴ ἐν Βυζαντίῳ εὑρεθέντες τινὲς τῶν κοττιστῶν καὶ βλασφημίαις δειναῖς ἑαυτοὺς περιβαλόντες, χειροκοπηθέντες περιεμβωβήθησαν ἐν καμήλοις.» "At that time there arose a great persecution of the Graeco-Roman pagans, and many were subjected to confiscation of property; among them perished Macedonius, Asclepiodotus, Phokas son of Krateros, and Thomas the Koiaistor. From this there came about great fear. The same emperor enacted a decree that those who practice Hellenic religion were not to participate in civic life, and that those belonging to other sects should be removed from the Roman polity, granting them a deadline of three months in which to become partakers of the Orthodox faith. This divine ordinance was made manifest in all the cities abroad... ... In the consulship of the same Decius, the same emperor [i.e. Justinian], having issued a decree, sent it to Athens, ordering that no one teach philosophy, nor explain the laws [some read: "astronomy"], nor that any "kottoi" (games of chance, likely involving dice, possibly a Slavic loan, cf. Russian кость, "bone, die") be held in any of the cities, because certain kottoi-players (rendered in Latin as āleātōrēs) were found in Byzantium who, having entangled themselves in terrible blasphemies, were paraded about on camels after having their hands cut off." - Chronographia of John Malalas

As for her husband, Aham, he clearly seems like a manipulative jackal. Someone who weaponizes West's progressive beliefs against her to get what he wants. Monogamy? That's just like slavery! And, uh, colonialism! Monogamy is just like the Trail of Tears if you think about it! 6/

I don't like Pahlavists, but you've started to become a bit toxic yourself.
