2:02 pm
nearly 500 people have been killed in the name why protest so far? it began in mid september. they estimate at least a dozen people are facing the death penalty. after taking part in the earlier i spoke to come on martine, he's a senior electron international relations at the university of sussex in the u. k. i asked him if he was surprised by to ron's brutal cracked on good morning. you know, i'm not. this was expected and there was jim has been laying ground for this. this killings which by all conventions actually are extra judicial killings. the person who was executed this morning by the way that i thought i was only arrested 23 days ago. so the whole process from arrest to execution took only more and let them more than 3 weeks. he had no access to independent lawyer. it was a lawyer which was determined by the, by the state. and in fact,
2:03 pm
and uranium. my rice lawyer claims that given that there was no private plaintiff in this case, the whole case was brought to the court by the government and actually processed by the government by judiciary felt it's a sort of state killing. and i should also add that there are other protest us who are actually being killed on the torture in the prison. but the government then claims they have been either committing suicide or they have some other underlying conditions. including for example, mr. shod mom who is a kurdish protest there who has been recently the budget has been retained to the, to the families. so the killings are actually imprisoned. going in the different ways. but as we see, you mentioned that protests are already been called against this. and i, i don't see how this unbridled violence could then it could actually end the process because it makes it more center up to you. will it discourage protest as if
2:04 pm
you risk your life and risk the death penalty was discouraged, protested. i'm not sure it does because people who go to the streets already prepared for being actually shaka, fire, security force or something which the government security troops have done for past 3 months. i mean, you, you mentioned in your clips in the beginning that's more than 460 people have already been killed injury in demonstrations majority, which means actually fod. that's fine and live in during the proper. so i think people are aware of, of the, of the dangers and risks and they are familiar with the practices of the republic against the position. and i would also want to say that in fact, the protest or opposition to this executions has reached the highest level within the religious authorities of lam itself in the city of home, which is
2:05 pm
a central kind of jewish proven. so the government is quite desperate in a way supposedly for, but i think it shows more, more desperation on theater rather than no authority and control. now this is a grassroots movement. there aren't any, any clear leaders. how likely do you think it is that they can bring out real change if nursing change in iran? well, i think this is both a kind of a strength, but also potentially in short term i placed a witness of the movement, the strength because they can not easily find the leaders and deal with them. and therefore, bring the movement to the end and weakness because it's kind of, you know, makes it more difficult to act more strategically to, to be a source of kind of wanting to look at. so for international community and so on and so forth. but i think these are the new kinds of movement we've seen the in the recent times and leadership would emerge from within the movement over time. and
2:06 pm
the already seeing the growth of labor, union trade, union students movements and so on. and i think in the longer on this, this might be even better because it reduces the possibility of external and position of particular kind of political program on the movement as a whole. but we have to see how far on for how long the movement can sustain the current tempo and has come on that in from the university of sussex in britain. thank you very much. thank you. a vice president of european parliament has been charged with corruption over allegations that woke up host casa, paid huge bribes to influence you. policy is kalia has been stripped of a pass off to investigate, is reportedly found bags of cash in her home. she's one of 4 people arrested so far in connection with this scandal,

2:09 pm
that got the but influenced to host the world, got the keith likely to raise questions on how concrete like that there will have access to you. decision maker in the future. earlier i spoke to have a to, to share our who is a senior policy off. so with the anti corruption organization transparency international. i asked him whether we are likely looking just at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the current investigation. i mean, what the investigation has showed so far is that not only there's a vice president of the european parliament involved, there's a number of other people, there's administrators, there's assistance, there's formal members of parliament. there are people that work for lobby organizations. i mean there's a slew of a different individuals in different positions. so i would definitely not be surprised if there are more people involved. does the days go bart, with what we know so far, can you put into perspective the scale of this scandal?

2:11 pm
