This episode contains descriptions of violence and injury.
In September, protests began in Iran over the death of a young woman, Mahsa Amini, at the hands of the government. The demonstrations have since intensified, as has the government’s response, with thousands arrested and a terrifying campaign of public executions underway.
Today, Iranians who have taken part in the demonstrations tell us — in their own words — why they are willing to brave such severe punishments to help bring about change.
Guest: Cora Engelbrecht (https://www.nytimes.com/by/cora-engelbrecht?smid=pc-thedaily), an international reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
The protests in Iran have escalated amid anger over religious rules and a rock-bottom economy (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/22/world/middleeast/iran-protests.html).
A look at the Iranians who have been hanged, and those on death row (https://www.nytimes.com/article/iran-protests-death-sentences-executions.html), as the government tries to crush the monthslong uprising.
