What started in September as a shocked reaction to death of a young woman arrested by morality police, soon changed into widespread demonstrations and riots demanding nothing less than end of the current theocratic regime. There are already more than three hundred people killed, mostly by governmental forces. Our guest, Radio Free Europe journalist Hannah Kaviani offered excellent analysis of the crisis, going well behind media headlines and offering possible outcomes of the bloody events.
