The beginning of the end for the Iranian regime?

By The Big Story

In today’s Big Story podcast, Mahsa Amini was not the first woman, not even close, to be arrested by Iran’s morality police for how she wore her hijab. But when she died in police custody, a 22-year-old, full of life, snuffed out. A spark was lit.

More than one month later, protests continue to rage across the country, and the regime’s brutal crackdowns have not stamped them out. What happens next is unclear, but the situation is not tenable, and change is coming, fast or slow. So what should Western democracies be doing to help the protesters? And what happens if they succeed?

Maziar Bahari, is an Iranian Canadian journalist and filmmaker, editor of IranWire.com and author of Then They Came For Me. He’s covered Mahsa Amini’s death and the on-going protests in Iran.

“I don’t know how long these protests are going to last. The young, brave protesters, they have surprised everyone with their energy and their zeal for change,” he said.
