Meeting with Sina Dehghan

"Meeting" is a brief narrative about those whose lives are confined to a four-walled space called prison. In each segment of this series, we visit one of those who are referred to as 'political prisoners of conscience' by human rights organizations. He has been sentenced to death on charges of blasphemy against the Prophet of Islam and the sanctities of the Islamic faith through writing posts on social media. Sina Dehghan is a 21-year-old young man who was 19 at the time of his arrest. While human rights organizations criticize the death sentence for such charges, according to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, his death sentence has also been confirmed by the Supreme Court. Sina Dehghan has another charge in his case titled 'insulting the leader of Iran,' which has led to a 16-month prison sentence for him. *** The information in this audio file relates to the time of its preparation, editing, and publication, and the status of the political prisoner in question may have changed from what is heard in this program.
