Having endured 5 years of torture and other hardships as a political prisoner in Iran, one woman makes an impassioned plea for understanding the Muslim world. What if we saw Islam in another light? Mehri Dadgar joined the movement against the Shah and participated in the 1979 revolution in Iran. Two and a half years after the revolution she was arrested for distributing pro-democracy newspapers in the streets of Tehran. After she spent five years in political prison, she wasn’t allowed to leave the country for eight years until 1994. Before immigrating to the United States, she studied at the Art University in Tehran. Since living in America, she exhibited her paintings and received her MFA with honor from the California State University of Long Beach. After her research and years of Quran studies she began lecturing at universities and libraries about misconceptions in the practice of Islam and how false doctrines clash with the peaceful teachings of the Quran. She has recently published her memoir of prison, A Prison Story – Iran, a testimony of bravery and fear, honesty and betrayal and ultimately, hope and victory. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Shortly after the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was signed, unguarded optimism swept many academic and policy circles, and American universities with strong ties to Iranian advocates and donors encouraged academic travel to Iran by its students. As a PhD student at Princeton, Xiyue Wang made the fateful decision to study abroad in Iran, where he was arrested and charged with espionage on completely trumped-up charges. How could America’s academic and policy elite be so naïve about a regime with an enduring commitment to hostage diplomacy? How did Wang manage to win his freedom from Iran’s notorious Evin Prison? How has this informed his work as a scholar? Join Hudson Institute Adjunct Fellow Josh Block for a conversation with Xiyue Wang on this harrowing experience.
