Newz Brief: Watching Iranian American journalist Roxana Saberi on VOA. She spent 6 years in Iran and was a prisoner for 6 months accused of spying for the CIA in Iran. Her father is Iranian and mother Japanese but having spent this time in Iran she speaks eloquently (in farsi) on the situation in the country.
Her view is that the youth of Iran, which make up over 75% of the population today demand individual freedoms and civil liberties such as the right to political self-determine, the right to live free from fear and persecution and the right to have economic prosperity in today’s global economy.
The current system can not deliver these new values within a modern context of society.
