Episode Details

Iran’s crackdown intensifies as nearly 50 executions and 6,000 detentions surge in three months, forcing dissidents into a climate of fear. Inside Ghezel Hesar Prison, over 1,000 death-row inmates launch a deadly hunger strike — some sewing lips shut — protesting executions, especially for drug offenses. Despite international outcry and prior promises to halt killings, authorities remain silent, ignoring pleas for mercy as prisoners’ health collapses. This isn’t the first time — last year’s strike ended in empty promises. With U.S. sanctions in place, the world watches as a regime’s brutal justice system continues to claim lives.
