SUMMARY:GCIV Member's Only Reception with an International Women of Courage Awardee

She defended people persecuted for the peaceful expression of their beliefs and successfully campaigned for the release of many political prisoners.

SUMMARY:A Call For Universal Freedom In Iran
DESCRIPTION:The February\, 1979 Islamic Revolution introduced a form of government rarely encountered in the 20th or 21st century. Radical theocrats began a reign of terror within and beyond the nation of Iran. Seeking to bring a whole population under its control\, the regime has not retreated from wholesale arrests of Iranian citizens\, torture\, and public hangings to subdue all who disagreed with its totalitarian tactics\, and in many instances\, it has worked. \nThere are exceptions\, and on occasion\, there is a citizen so assured of his or her faith\, that regime intimidation\, arrest\, and emotional distress fails to meet its objective. On March 16th\, the ACIR will host a survivor of the regime’s notorious Evin Prison who resisted all efforts to break her and her religious faith. Today\, many others in Iran are risking their lives\, resisting similar human rights violations and choosing freedom. Come listen to Marziyeh Amirizadeh discuss the call for freedom in today’s Iran. \n  \nAbout Marziyeh Amirizadeh \n \nMarziyeh Amirizadeh – or Marzi – is an Iranian immigrant who was born just a few months before the 1979 Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah of Iran and swept a radical Islamic regime into power. More than twenty years ago through the grace of God\, Marzi became a Christian despite growing up under the authoritarian\, socialistic\, Islamic regime where children were indoctrinated by the government. \nAfter becoming a Christian\, Marzi shared her Christian faith with fellow Iranians by distributing thousands of bibles and participating in the underground Iranian church. In 2009\, she was arrested in Tehran for promoting Christianity and was thrown into the notorious Evin prison – one of the most brutal prisons in the world. While incarcerated\, she endured months of mental and physical hardships\, including intense interrogation. She was sentenced to death by hanging simply for being a Christian. Finally\, under pressure from human rights and Christian organizations\, the Iranian government released Marzi. She emigrated to the United States where she became an American citizen and earned a Bachelor and Master of Science degree in International Affairs. \nMarzi is a published author\, public speaker\, activist for religious freedom\, and a former candidate for Georgia House District 67. Her first book\, Captive in Iran\, which recounts her capture and imprisonment\, was published in April 2013. She has shared her inspiring story in the United States and around the world\, in order to bring awareness to people and policy makers about the ongoing human rights violations and persecution of religious minorities in Iran.

SUMMARY:2023 Dunwoody Great Decisions Virtual Lecture Series – Iran at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:The annual 2023 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 2 – March 23\, 2023 at 7:30 PM. There is a fee to register for the virtual lecture series\, and registration is required to receive the event link. \nMarch 16\, 2023\, Topic: Iran at a Crossroads\nBy the fall of 2022\, Iran was in a state of turmoil due to widespread protests against government-enforced wearing of the hijab\, a failing economy\, an ineffective new president\, and the looming succession of the country’s leader\, Ayatollah Khamenei. Abroad\, renewal of the Iran nuclear deal seemed doubtful and tensions remain high between Iran\, Israel\, and Arab states. Many Iranians have lost hope of a better future\, and the country seems at a crossroads. How should the United States deal with it? \nSpeaker: Dr. Kevin Jones\, Associate Professor of History\, University of Georgia \nPlease note\, topics and speakers are subject to change dates. \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program. To view the other 2023 topics or learn more about Great Decisions\, visit Gciv.org/programs/gd.
