Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to ask Mr. Batebi a question. It'll be the same one for Ms. Zamani. If I have a chance, I'll put a second question.
Mr. Batebi, 10 years ago in 1999, when you were then a leader of the student movement, your picture appeared on the front page of The Economist. At the time, you were holding up the blood-stained shirt of a fellow protester. It became a kind of iconic photo, which went around the world, as to the plight of students in Iran and, really, the human rights situation in Iran. You were then sentenced to death. You were nine years in prison. Fortunately, you escaped and achieved refugee status in the United States a little less than a year ago.
Here's my question. From the perspective now, looking at the situation then, to the extent that you can appreciate it, is the situation getting worse with regard to human rights in Iran or not, and not only with regard to students, but what are the trends? Are things getting worse? If so, are any groups in particular being targeted and it is getting worse for them? That's my question.
Ms. Zamani, you mentioned the uprising three years ago, but again, you've been away for 12 years now. As best as you can appreciate it, is the situation regarding human rights in Iran getting worse? If so, why?
We'll start with Mr. Batebi.
