Answering Questions About Zahra's Paradise

I chose to answer two of my classmates questions concerning Zahra's Paradise.

Is the publisher of this article anonymous? How does she maintain her safety?

The creators of Zahra's Paradise remain semi-anonymous. They reveal their first names only for safety reasons. They remain safe by only revealing their first names as well as living in the United States where they are far out of the reach of revolutionary guards. Their names are Amir and Khalil. Amir is an Iranian-American activist and Khalil is an artist hailing from northern Africa.

If the violence was so bad, why didn't outside nations intervene?

Outside nations did intervene, the European Union sent aid to wounded protesters in Iran. Also, many foreign countries opened their embassies to wounded protesters. The embassies served as havens for the wounded because they were places were safety was assured.
