1-Meet @P_Salahshouri, a a so-called reformist MP from the Islamic Republic of Iran. When she first came to power, she made promises to improve women's conditions. Not only has she not delivered her promises, but she has now turned to targeting anti compulsory hijab activists. 
2-Salahshouri had conjured up a lot of hope. Reformists claimed women like her would save us. But immediately after entering parliament, she adopted the conservative chador. In other words, she did not even stick to her own way of dressing and she bowed down to pressure.
3-Recently, she reacted to my TV show by claiming that it is more honourable that she stays in Iran and wear hijab despite the threat of being jailed. She claims that it’s dishonourable that I produce a TV show outside Iran without wearing hijab.
4-Here is my response to her and other reformists in Iran: it is the fault of officials like you that journalists and human rights activists like me have been forced to live abroad and are deprived of seeing their parents. You claim you’d rather go to jail than leave Iran.
5-But don’t forget: there’re two types of jails in Iran. One for ordinary Iranians (like me) and one for regime officials (both hardliner and reformist) like you. When it comes to the latter, regimes officials threatened with jail often manage to talk their way out of jail.
6-Jail for ordinary Iranians, especially minorities means torture, humiliation, deprivation of family visits, and poor health. Take the case of Zeinab Jalalian, Kurdish political prisoner, on whose case Salahshouri has not uttered a single word:
7-When it comes to jail for regime officials like you, there’re often ways to mysteriously avoid the worst. Take Tehran’s former mayor, Mohammad Ali Najafi, a “reformist”. He killed his wife, but he’s managed to avoid jail. This is pure nepotism.
7-Meanwhile, instead of defending the murdered wife, you defended her reformist comrade, Mohammad Ali Najafi, and asked for the case to be closed. One would expect you to do otherwise.
8- You also support Rouhani, Iran’s so-called moderate president. Let’s take the brother of Hassan Rouhani. His brother was embroiled in a corruption scandal. But he was immediately released because of his links to the regime.
9-Recently, I received a series of death threats because clerics claimed that I insulted their beliefs and they said I should be killed for apostasy, very much like Khomeini’s fatwa for the murder of Salman Roshdi. You also support Khomeini and the apostasy law as an MP.
10-While you keep silent about these threats, you also have the audacity to look down on me and ask me why I live outside of Iran. While you say you'd prefer to go to jail, my own brother has been jailed for my activities for 10 months. I'd clearly be killed if I were in Iran.
11-What kind reform do you want for Iran? Can you even call yourself reformist? Instead of striving to lift cycling ban for women, put an end to forced hijab, and release political prisoners, you go and attack activists like me and women of #WhiteWednesday.
