Iranian woman’s brothers face execution
CNN’s Isobel Yeung speaks to Nikki Nikbakht who learned that her two brothers have been given the death penalty in Iran. She is one of many Iranians abroad fearing for their loved ones as the Islamic Republic intensifies repression and increases the speed of executions since the war with the US. At least 47 political prisoners have been killed since the conflict broke out according to the Norway-based Iran Human Rights NGO.
