00:03
I have no doubts that this regime will not
00:28
hesitate to oppress the people who they have the courage
00:36
to show their opposition.
00:39
But I know that this change, this maturity that
00:44
happened in the mind of people, we cannot go back.
00:51
I mean, once you tasted the freedom, you cannot go back.
00:56
You cannot forget about the moment
00:58
that you tasted the freedom.
01:00
I had this hope that this change can happen.
01:06
And I think it was the start of an end of this regime.
01:16
During all this time I was playing professionally,
01:20
during our trips and our travels out of the country,
01:24
there was people who were accompanying
01:26
our team named security guards.
01:30
They were accompanying our team everywhere.
01:32
They were monitoring you, what you eat, to whom you talk,
01:37
what you do.
01:38
I remember in a competition, it was World Youth Championships.
01:43
I won a medal.
01:44
And a nine-year-old boy, he wanted
01:47
to shake hands to say congrats.
01:51
But our manager, she was not the security guard,
01:57
but she was accompanying the team.
02:00
She mentioned that we cannot shake hands with men.
02:07
And it was really a shocking moment,
02:10
because you're just a kid, and you cannot shake hands
02:16
with your friend, which is a boy.
