But the truth is, while I am religious and I believe firmly in Islam, I have lost faith in Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the revolution.

What is more, we will never forget this event. People will not give up. They are being crushed into silence, but they won’t be silent forever. They have new ways to connect to one another. They, the regime, can block Facebook today but they can’t do it forever. Something has changed in this country, people have been cheated but they have seized more freedom. Now we are like caged lions, so taking anything from us will be harder in future.
