Description

Douglas County Ga Republican Women's Club is Hosting Marziyeh Amirizadeh Marziyeh Amirizadeh - or Marzi - is an Iranian immigrant who was born just a few months before the 1979 Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah of Iran and swept a radical Islamic regime into power. Through the grace of God, Marzi became a Christian despite growing up under this authoritarian, socialistic, Islamic regime where children were indoctrinated by the government. After becoming a Christian, Marzi shared her Christian faith with fellow Iranians by distributing thousands of bibles and by participating in the underground Iranian church. In 2009, she was arrested in Tehran for promoting Christianity and was thrown into the notorious Evin prison - one of the most brutal prisons in the world. While incarcerated, Marzi endured months of mental and physical hardships, including intense interrogation. She was convicted of apostasy, blasphemy and promoting Christianity and sentenced to death by a radical Islamic court. Finally, under pressure from human rights and Christian’s organizations, the Iranian government released Marzi, and she emigrated to the United States where she became a United States citizen. Marzi moved to Atlanta and enrolled at Georgia Tech University where she later earned her master’s degree in international Affairs. Marzi is a published author and public speaker. Her first book is “Captive in Iran” which was published in April 2013. Since then, she has been shared her story in the United States and in other countries, with people and policymakers, in order to bring awareness about the ongoing human rights violations and persecution of religious minorities in Iran. She is working on her second book that is going to publish soon. Her primary mission is to warn fellow Americans that freedom must be cultivated and defended. Marzi feels deep gratitude for this country and its people which have given her so much. She feels a responsibility to stand up, serve, and encourage her fellow Americans to fight for their values, faith, and freedom. Marzi is committed to public service and plans to announce her candidacy for Georgia State Assembly in the 2022 elections. Come meet, talk to and get a book signed while also enjoying a womderful brunch hosted by the Douglas County Republican Women's Club.
