“No matter where we come from, there should never be any support for the US or any outside forces intervening in any country, particularly in Iran. There should be no sanctions. Not only sanctions are not humane but are not effective even, for the purpose of people who are doing them. . . . I want us to start thinking: how are we going to talk against intervention, talk against sanctions, talk against invasion, talk against any interference in the affairs of Iran, but at the same time protect Iranians’ human rights?” — Manijeh Saba
