Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, President of Iran Human Rights and Professor of Neuroscience at University of Oslo. He offers a stark assessment of the Iranian regime’s response to recent unrest and wartime conditions. Speaking from Oslo after the partial lifting of a prolonged internet blackout, Professor Amiry-Moghaddam argues that the authorities have exploited international attention on regional conflict to intensify domestic repression. Civilians are effectively “risking their lives” so that “the world can know what is happening in Iran,” underscoring both the scale of repression and the resilience of civil society under authoritarian pressure.
