Political activist Masih Alinejad (photo) angrily rejected a proposal by the Biden Administration that she go into the Justice Department Witness Protection Program to gain the highest level of protection the US government can provide to people who have been threatened with death. She told the House Foreign Affairs Committee the proposal was made after the regime was exposed trying to kidnap her and return her to Iran in July 2022. “In an email, the administration strongly advised me to go into witness protection,” she said. “It means that I have to change my identity,… to disappear. This is exactly what the Islamic Republic of Iran wants.”
