Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani is daughter of former Iranian President, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, escaped from Iran. This video shows Faezeh (A woman with the black chador and pink scarf) in Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport. On 24 December 2011, she was standing trial on charges of making anti-regime propaganda, her laywer was quoted as saying after a closed hearing. After the court told her about her accusation of propaganda against the regime, she and her lawyer gave their defence. Hashemi was arrested and released after taking part in a number of protests which erupted after a 2009 election which saw President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reelected to office despite opposition claims the vote was rigged. She was arrested again for participating in anti-regime demonstrations in February, 2011. Her father, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani is facing harsh criticism from conservatives who demand he condemn publicly opposition leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi - he lost his seat on the powerful Assembly of Experts as a result. Rafsanjani later has distanced himself somewhat from the opposition leaders and he condemned the last anti-government demonstrations staged by their supporters. But his stance has not satisfied the conservatives. [edit]Sentencing On January 3, 2012, she was sentenced to six months in prison. She has 20 days to appeal.
