Iran Protests: "I ran for my life"
Jamileh, a 25-year-old woman from Iran, describes her experience taking part in demonstrations against the recent election result that saw current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defeat opposition hopeful Mir Hossein Mousavi amid accusations of vote-rigging. Parisa describes how she returned home from a protest march, only to be disturbed by police who then arrested her brother: http://www.guardianweekly.co.uk/?page=editorial&id=1129&catID=1

1. I think this reporter fucked up. Is this one woman or two? Maybe I am confused.
They call this woman Jamileh, and then they call her Parisa.

It's like calling her Susie in one sentence, and Betty in the next. Are these two separate women, or did they screw up and give us the real name of Jamileh by mistake?

2. From the end: "Jamileh is a pseudonym"
I hope that doesn't mean they fucked up and that Parisa is her real name, left in by mistake.

3. Yes, that is why I couldn't understand why they were talking about Parisa.
I think they fucked up, unless they are talking about two women, and this does not read that way.
