The implementation of the 'first eye-for-an-eye punishment' in Iran concerning an acid attack suspect and the execution of six Kurdish prisoners in Rajai Shahr prison in Karaj are the main topics of this week's 'Daricheh' program. This week's program also looks at the arrest of several political and civil activists in Iran, including Khosrow Mansourian, a national-religious activist, Mohammad Yousefi, a student activist, and Hossein Ronaghi Maleki. Amnesty International states that the eye-for-an-eye punishment reflects the utmost cruelty of Iran's judiciary. The Human Rights Campaign reports the execution of six Sunni prisoners on charges of 'moharebeh' (waging war against God). In less than 10 days, 20 individuals have been executed in Iran. The program discusses the changing dynamics of 'proxy wars' and the conflict against the people in the streets of Iran, as well as the responsibility of opposition groups and the potential radicalization of Iranian society. The death of the last Mossad representative in Tehran amid the Iranian crisis is also noted.
