„Nová úroveň brutality.“ Írán pod rouškou války svévolně popravujeÍrán v reakci na protivládní protesty a vypuknutí války spustil nebývalou vlnu represí a poprav. Teherán se tak snaží chudnoucí obyvatelstvo odradit od nepokojů, míní kritici. Podle expertky na Blízký východ Lenky Martínkové režim postupuje preventivně jako v případě hrozící infekce. Soudní procesy nahradily justiční vraždy a objevují se i svědectví o mučení obžalovaných. Hlavní roli hraje výpověď bezpečnostních složek.
