LAST MEAL with Tom Nash16 Jun 2025

Masih Alinejad's LAST MEAL

What does it take to stand up to a dictatorship? In this episode of Last Meal, I sit down with Masih Alinejad—journalist, activist, and dissident—to talk about her fight against Iran’s oppressive regime. We discuss her exile, the threats to her life, and the cost of speaking out against tyranny.

From her early days under compulsory veiling in Iran to becoming a powerful voice for freedom in exile, Alinejad reveals the personal and political challenges she's overcome. She moves us with memories of her family and culture, ignited by the aroma of her Last Meal. Despite facing an assassination plot and relentless persecution, Alinejad's spirit remains unbroken. Her journey from a village echoing 'Death to America' to finding solace in a united American neighborhood is a testament to resilience and hope.
