Iranian human rights activist: 鈥業slamic Republic is living on borrowed time鈥�
The husband of Narges Mohammadi says her family still hope they will be reunited
Taghi Rahmani, the husband of this year鈥檚 Nobel Peace Prize winner, has told the 成人快手 that 鈥榳hen you make human rights and freedom your ultimate goal, you end up paying a high price.鈥�
Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi is currently serving a ten year sentence in Iran鈥檚 Evin prison and was unable to collect the prestigious prize in Oslo. Instead it was accepted by her two children Kiana and Ali who have not seen their mother for eight years.
Asked by HARDtalk鈥檚 Stephen Sackur whether he had believed the family could be reunited, Mr Rahmani said, 鈥榟opes and dreams keep human beings alive.鈥�
鈥楤ut Narges has chosen a path, we have chosen a path, that our children have to understand.鈥�
In awarding the prize, the Nobel committee said Narges Mohammadi had fought for women rights against systemic discrimination and oppression.
Mr Rahmani continued, 鈥楾his [Iranian] regime cannot continue. It is in crisis. I believe that the Islamic Republic is living on borrowed time.鈥�
鈥楾he Islamic Republic has no successful development plan for Iran. And now they have concluded that they have to run the country in a totalitarian fashion,鈥� he said.
