Iranian journalist and women’s rights activist Masih Alinejad called out the Biden administration following an attempt on her life in the last week.
On July 31, Brooklyn police arrested a man with a loaded AK-47-style rifle near her apartment. This came one year after Alinejad described a plot by the Iranian government to kidnap her for her work documenting Iranian women fight back against the oppressive regime. While Iran has denied her allegations, Alinejad has said the plot was infiltrated by the FBI.
Alinejad recounted her experience on “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy” and insisted that the Iranian regime is once again involved.
“To be honest, last year, when the FBI stopped a kidnapping plot, I thought I was safe, and I can practice my freedom of speech here in the United States of America. But a few days ago, when the FBI told me, that this time they arrested a man in front of my home, with a loaded gun, I was shocked. I was speechless. I could not believe that here on U.S. soil, the Iranian regime tried to challenge the U.S. authorities twice for a crime of just practicing my rights to give voice to voiceless people,” Alinejad said.
