Iranian writer Marina Nemat, author of Prisoner of Tehran, weighs in on the outcome of the election in her native country.

Marina Nemat was a good student from a Christian family in Iran and accustomed to speaking her mind. The Iranian Revolution turned her world upside down. She was arrested at age 16, jailed for more than two years in a political prison in Tehran, tortured and almost executed. After gaining her freedom, Nemat immigrated to Canada, where she attended and is now an ambassador for the University of Toronto. She was awarded the first annual Human Dignity Prize and tells her story in the acclaimed memoir, Prisoner of Tehran.
