Exclusive: Protester who survived Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown speaks to CNN

Ashkan Morovati is something of a hero for many Iranians. A video emerged in October 2022 showing the Kurdish Iranian boxer bare-chested, surrounded by more than a dozen regime forces as he was trying to fend them off with a knife – then, shots are heard and he falls to his knees. CNN's Jomana Karasheh speaks to Morovati after he survived the unimaginable, brutal crackdown and narrowly escaped the country while severely injured.

  1. I’ll never understand how they say this type of punishment is in the name of God. I mean how can u come to that conclusion? That this is what God would want?

    1. @Be(e)st So I was right. The original comment has nothing to do with old or new testament. The argument will keep on going and to a completely different topic. Hence, it’s a fallacy.
      “whataboutery
      /ˌwɒtəˈbaʊtəri/

      the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue.”

    2. @Nitin Kumar I’ve actually reread all the comments, original, reply, yours, mine to see if I F-d . I don’t have any problems saying I may have judged too fast and you could be right (that was painful to admit 😖😄).

    3. @aaron singer “Could be Right” is not the same as “Are Right”. Only that even if I don’t agree with with a point of view, I can see how someone may think that way. Try it out sometimes.

  2. He is a true hero. On behalf of women everywhere, even here in America where republicans are taking away women’s rights, we thank you!

    1. @Martin Copeland so I go back to my original question what citizens in America are denied their rights? I see no group that is.

    2. @Martin Copeland so you see there is no right to an abortion. If some lady wants one she can pay for it herself. It isn’t the taxpayers job to help hos ho

    3. @Jonathan morrison well the government isn’t required to protect the right to life of a child after birth if the parents can’t afford to pay the medical bills.

    4. @Martin Copeland no child is left to die or taken from parents over inability to pay a medical bill. But yes the child isn’t the responsibility of the govt either if thats what you mean.

  3. I’m at McDonald’s eating a Big Mac and I totally feel for this guy. May the Force be with you buddy.

    1. Imagine so called ( propaganda tools) the corporate mainstream news outlets sell you the Timothy McVeigh’s narrative as a freedom fighter and peaceful protestor ! Are you that naive to believe it !!!? LMAO

  4. Fire beneath the ashes. The spies hate it. Rubs that salt in real good. They know they’ve completely over the edge and into the abyss. And for what? Hair the musical

    1. We already have. The FBI colluded with big tech to censor free speech. The DOJ labeled parents as Domestic terrorist. 51 former intelligence agents lied about Hunter’s Laptop being Russian Disinformation. Adam Schiff lied many times about having evidence he never had. The FBI lied to FISA court to spy on Americans.The Biden administration tried to set up a Ministry of Truth to kill free speech and spread propaganda. Eric Swalwell is a Chinese Communist asset that slept with Fang Fang. The FBI agent in charge of investigating Trump’s Russian Collusion has been arrested for Colluding with Russia. The Biden family sold access to China, Russia, and Ukraine. The January 6 Commission purposely released 2000 social security numbers of private citizens.

  5. I hope that Iran doesn’t get forced ( as in ” do this or else we go at war against you! ” )to change their stuff. I do however hope that civil justice comes for the innocents. ( Without violence)

  6. From today onwards I want to do MINISTRY only for God 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 because google and what’s app access my phone 😁😁😁I want to quit Politics ,,
    Hallelujah ❤️
    May be my points are genuine but God wants me or approves me for his MINISTRY once I longed ,,
    God rejected me ,,
    I rejected my dad’s will to join bible college and a pastor calling.. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    1. When ever I get fear ,I pray ,,
      PRAYER gives me lot of strength..❤️❤️❤️
      We have a God
      Hope ,,,
      God comforts us with his VERSES ,,
      For example ,1 Peter 4:-1 and 2 helps to be in a mind of hope .( During fear we have Hope,fear is a sign of prophecy ,we must work on it to get rid of the fear ,, 👍👍👍
      Sufferings are for our good ..
      Because lust is a lie ,,it is death ,,
      It DETACHS us from God, father ,,
      Who was no longer a CREATOR and God the owner but father ,,( he said it to adam in Eden garden 😁)
      God manifested it by sending His son to us 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍❤️
      We are salt and light and city on the hill 👍 to all Gentiles 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  7. The Iranians want freedom more than a significant portion of the population in the land of the free.
    US citizens are allowing autocrats to gain traction and they will be the ones whinging when all of theirs are gone.
    It is easier to maintain freedom than to let it go then try and get it back.
    I hope freedom comes to the people of Iran. They have earned it.

  8. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever _repents_ of all his sins (turns from sins) and _calls_ on the *Name* of the *LORD,* will be saved. *He* who died on a cross for the sins of the world, _rose_ from the dead on the third day, and by *His* blood, whoever _repents_ and _believes,_ has full redemption of sins and eternal life!
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess *Jesus* now as your *Lord* and be saved, because you broke the law but *He* paid your fine with *His* life’s blood!

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal! This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins.)
