Thirty-three-year-old Elham Modarresi, an artist from Iran, went from protesting an authoritarian regime on the streets of Tehran to fighting for her life in a Turkish hospital as she suffers from liver failure.
Modarresi was imprisoned for three months in November 2022 after participating in the Woman, Life, Freedom movement that rocked Iran in 2022, following the in-custody death of Mahsa Jina Amini.
She escaped to Turkey after her release, where she is now seeking asylum. But while she was imprisoned, she was denied medication for a genetic liver disorder.
Her sister Nahid Modarresi is now pleading for help.
“We don’t know what we’re doing. Please help my sister. Please. Canada. Young people, please save my sister,” she said.
