BBC World Service - Weekend, Anti-government protests continue in Iran

Two-hundred people are reported to have been killed in the past month in Iran during protests.

Around 200 people are reported to have been killed in the past month in Iran during protests that have swept across the country. This wave of demonstrations, with unprecedented acts of defiance, is one of the biggest challenges to the Islamic Republic since it was established in 1979.

Also in the programme: Further Russian missile attacks in Ukraine following the audacious attack on the Crimean bridge.

Joining Rebecca Kesby to discuss these and other stories are Helene von Bismarck, a German historian and author specialised in Britain’s international relations; and Rana Mitter, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China at Oxford University.
