If that's her, I have read one of her many articles about the Palestinian refugees' practice of commemoration. Iranian leftists, whether they are secular or Muslim, are a lot more sympathetic toward the Palestinians than Iranian liberals (though even Iranian liberals seem unable to swallow the neo-con line on Israel wholesale -- recall the delightful episode of Akbar Ganji getting heckled in Hollywood for his remark on US support for Israel, a Time Magazine article about which was posted here by Sepideh: ". . . Ganji seemed to hit a raw nerve when he appeared to equate Jewish (and Christian) fundamentalists with Islamic extremists. 'The U.S. has to stop its one-sided support of Israel,' said Ganji, speaking in a large screening room adorned with an original Jasper Johns and other post-modernist art. That comment and others raised the hackles of many in attendance, including multibillionaire media mogul Haim Saban, who asked, 'When was the last time you saw a Christian or a Jew put a belt around their stomach, go on a bus, and kill innocent women and children?'"
