In a Berlin hotel cafe, Masih Alinejad boldly sang in Farsi, captivating both waiters and her German government bodyguards. Her song was a symbol of defiance against oppressive plots targeting her, detailed by the US Justice Department as part of broader Iranian murder-for-hire schemes.

Despite facing threats, the Iranian American activist remains undeterred, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's fall with fellow human rights advocates. Alinejad is a vocal proponent of women's rights in Iran, confronting repeated assassination attempts as a testament to her impactful advocacy.

Amid Iranian denial of the plots, the Justice Department's charges underscore the gravity of the threats. However, Alinejad's resolve to amplify the voices of oppressed Iranian women continues to grow stronger, embodying resistance against continued governmental repression.
