In another program of the series "One Narrative", we have a conversation with Arash Hejazi, who witnessed the killing of Neda Agha Sultan during the June 2008 election protests. Arash Hijazi is actually a doctor. He graduated from Iran University of Medical Sciences in 1375, but his interest in translation and publishing led him to cultural work, and for this reason, about a year after finishing his medical studies, he founded the publishing company "Karvan" and became an editor. Writing and translation turned. But the presence of Arash Hijazi near the place where Neda Agha Sultan was killed in Tehran as a witness changed the course of his life and he was forced to emigrate and live in Britain. Arash Hejazi wrote on social networks that a simple trip to Tehran changed his life: "Before that I was a publisher, I was a writer, I was a doctor and I was focused on my own life. Then I witnessed the murder of a young woman and tried to help her... I was no longer a publisher, nor a writer, nor a doctor. Fate had given me a new role. From that day on, I was a witness." Dr. Hijazi says that after the film of the killing of Neda Agha-Soltan was broadcast on world television, Paulo Coelho, a famous Brazilian writer and songwriter, recognized me and wrote in his blog that he knows me and that he is a doctor and my friend. The security agents could easily identify me. ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Radio Farda; Contact time: Website: www.radiofarda.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/radiofarda Facebook: www.facebook.com/radio.farda Twitter: www.twitter.com/radiofarda_ Telegram Id: @fardagram Soundcloud: www.soundcloud .com/radio-farda TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@radio.farda
