Iranian anti-government demonstrations enter their fourth week

Iranians have defied a growing security crackdown to take to the streets

Iranians have defied a growing security crackdown to take to the streets, as anti-government demonstrations enter a fourth week. An Iranian human rights group estimates that at least one-hundred-and-eighty-five people have died in the protests so far.

Also, Ukrainian authorities say dozens of people have been killed or wounded in overnight shelling in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Olga Oliker, Program Director, Europe and Central Asia, for the International Crisis Group and Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch.
