"Meeting" is a brief narrative about those whose lives are confined to a four-walled space called prison. In each segment of this series, we visit one of those who are referred to as 'political-prisoners' by human rights organizations. She is 24 years old and was born in Shiraz, the city of poetry and literature, a young and energetic girl who loves music and plays the violin. She is a graduate in computer science from the University of Isfahan and was a master's student in scientific computing at Tarbiat Modares University until six months ago, but was expelled from the university following her arrest. Sepideh Moradi Sarvestani is one of the Gonabadi dervishes who was arrested on March 1, 2018, following clashes between Gonabadi dervishes and security forces on Pasdaran Street in Tehran.
