Asieh Amini is an award winning poet, journalist and human rights activist. She is best known for her women's rights work in Iran, including the campaign "Stop Stoning Forever" that fights against stoning of women and minors.

Here she offers her thought provoking views on censorship that is imposed on journalists and artists in Iran.
