Iran Special

Alan talks to Iranians in Tehran and the diaspora about life under a hard-line clerical regime and the nationwide protests following the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini.

In this special edition, Alan talks to Asal and Sara, two women living in Iran about how they are navigating their lives when normality is imploding around them. What does the future hold for them?

He also talks to Iranians living in the diaspora – Hamid in Glasgow and Melika in Sierra Leone, about how they stay connected to family and friends, how they use their voice to promote change in their homeland and whether they will ever be able to return there.

And to second generation Iranian Setare growing up in Los Angeles, about the impact the current situation is having on her and her family.

Producer: Mohini Patel
