Press TV bosses, including news director Hamid Reza Emadi sexually harassed former news anchor Sheena Shirani for years, the young female reporter revealed on Thursday, February 4. 

Shirani made the information public after she published a series of messages that she had received from Emadi on her Facebook page and the voice recording of a phone conversation between her and Emadi on the Facebook page for news site Rooz Online.

Shirani, 32, who is divorced with a son, first became an employee at Press TV in 2007, where she worked as an editor, producer and news presenter up to mid-January 2016. 

Shirani has now reportedly left Iran with her son. According to her friends, she has chosen not to disclose her whereabouts.

No one deserves to be harrassed at work, especially sexually!

The hypocracy of religion and those who beat their chest for religion shines brightly in situations like this.

While she has my support and sympathy for being a sexual harassment victim, she really needs to come clean on her position at Press TV. You can't work at a whorehouse and then complain about sex acts there. We Iranians need to learn to take responsibility for our actions, from those who brought us this Regime on down to those who participate in the sham elections, etc.

Didn's she read her contract of employment where it says :

"when Haji the supervisor orders you to  swallow, you swallow it all up,  then shout Allah O akbar  for giving me my udeniable  right "??!!

Jendeh 2 zarees are dime a dozen in IRI!

I'm sorry. I'm all against sexual harrassment; however, we need to put this in context. We are upset that a woman who worked for a propaganda outlet of a brutal regime--and an outlet that broadcasted confessions under torture of political opponents---was sexually harrassed at work. It's kind of like being upset that civil rights of Japanese soldiers who raped Chinese farmers during WWII were violated! I hate to say it, but sometimes you deserve what you get. What did she think when she worked for this aparatus of regime torture? That she was going to be treated fairly? That these were men of integrity?

And she's upset that she has been verbally (and possibly physically) violated? What about the regime victims whose confessions under torture were being broadcasted by PressTV? Has she shown any remorse for them? Has she apologized to them for being a part of that institution of torture? Has she spoken out about her harrasser's taping of forces confession against Maziar Bahari at Evin Prison? I will support her when I hear her speak up about all those things.

I can not hide my disgust and anger and the sense of shame that i feel everytime i hear something about somebody being sexually abused, anywhere in the world, But i also believe in taking decisive action at the right time and with the right authorities. Granted that had she even actually file a complained against this dude, she would probably have not been given the time of day, But it is One of the things she should have done.

I don't want be blamed for taking sides with the IRI or in any way or shape be looked at as if i am supporting this horrific action, but i noticed quite a long conversation along with a lot of reasoning with her tying to get him off her  back. IT was as if she was negotiaiting and trying to modify his "bad boy" talk/behavior. This strategy has backfired everytime it was implemented and the harrasser felt even more empowered and got more aggressive.

I mean, . He had already made her life misrable, so why not be a bit more tougher about it?

What i am wondering is, Where was that anger and where was that disgust and where was the decisive "Shut the F...up , stop calling me or i will take action". I am sure that had she at least tried to get the word out , someone would have helped out. She ended up losing her job anyway, at least she would have gone down with a fight.

IT is way past the time to accept responsibilty for anything buddy. That ship and that ideal option has long been gone. We iranians , well some of us, need better opportunities in better and finer parts of the world. There is nothing left but a relic of what you or those who think like you, would have dreamed about what iran will be in the future, under the most optimal circumstances.
