About this listen

In this episode, we're focusing on a pattern of human rights abuses in Iran, focusing on the arrest, detention, and torture of women, teachers, and family members of political prisoners. Several sources detail the arrests and dire conditions of individuals like Leila Saremi, Farzad Moazami, Masoud Jamei, Arghavan Fallahi, and various teachers and activists, highlighting concerns about lack of due process, denial of medical care, exorbitant bail demands, and psychological pressure. Furthermore, one source reports on the recent executions of four women across different Iranian prisons in just two weeks, often with undisclosed identities or charges, emphasizing the judiciary's silence on these cases. Collectively, the episode paints a picture of widespread repression and intimidation by the Iranian regime against those perceived as dissidents or their relatives.
