S1, Ep. 11, Part 2: Islamic Oppression – An Iranian Australian's Heartfelt Personal Experience, A Warning To Australia and The Commonwealth

(Check out Episode 10 for Part 1 – Islamic Oppression: An Iranian Australian's Heartfelt Personal Experience, A Warning To Australia and The Commonwealth)

In Part 2 of this conversation with Janet Shea, the story gets even harder to ignore: a child raised in Iran under oppressive Islamic rule, taught to chant “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” before she was old enough to even understand the words, and now she speaks from the other side of that fire with compassion and grace – compassion and grace being the opposite of the government she endured.

Janet takes us inside the machinery of indoctrination, escape, fear, and survival – then into the Australian Senate moment that turned her personal testimony into a national flashpoint. What happens when a victim names what harmed her… and the system tries to shut her down for saying it out loud?
