Summary
There have been protests in Iran before, but none as powerful as this. The regime has attempted to censor material coming out of the country, but protesters are refusing to back down. Could this be a pivotal moment for the country?
On the Sky News Daily podcast, Sally Lockwood speaks to Elika Ashoori, the daughter of Anoosheh Ashoori, a British political prisoner who was freed in March after five years in an Iranian jail. Plus Alistair Bunkall, Sky News’ Middle East correspondent, discusses what has happened in Iran in recent weeks and Sanya Burgess, a digital investigations journalist in Sky’s data and forensics unit, explains the role social media has played in the uprising.
