Comment: Given that the two individuals' notability is dependent on one another, it would probably make the most sense to cover them in the same article (see examples like Wright brothers). HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:40, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Most of the sources are primary (her own book) which are of limited value. Wikipedia cares what independent reliable sources say about a subject not what a subject says about themselves KylieTastic (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Marziyeh Amirizadeh (born 1979) is an Iranian American public speaker, author[1] and activist.[2] She was born in the southern province of Kerman, Iran in November 1978. As a young adult, Marziyeh became a Christian and subsequently began distributing Bibles – a capital crime under Iranian law.[3][4] On 5 March 2009, she and her co-religionist, Maryam Rostampour-Keller[5] were arrested on charges of apostasy, blasphemy, anti-government activities[6], promoting Christianity, acting against state security and taking part in illegal gatherings.[7][8][9][10] The next 259 days were spent mostly in the infamous Evin prison in Tehran[11][12][13] where they were tortured and interrogated.[14] and they were finally released after intense pressure was applied on the Iranian regime through various bodies including the pope, the US State Department and the United Nations.[5]
Marziyeh became a U.S. citizen in 2016 and graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta with a Master of Science in International Affairs in 2019.[15] In 2022, she ran for election in the Georgia House of Representatives as a Republican.[16]
Marziyeh has written two books to date, Captive in Iran, which was co-authored with her friend, Maryam Rostamour-Keller, [12][17] and A Love Journey with God which was completed in 2022.
