Iran's doctors are targeted during protests

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Iran's doctors are targeted during protests

A doctor from inside Iran describes the injuries he’s had to treat from protesters

We have a rare interview with an Iranian doctor who's been treating wounded anti-government protestors - and hear about the lengths he's gone to help them.

Also on the programme: As nurses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland go on strike - we hear more about the woman leading their cause - Pat Cullen. And the US government releases thousands of official documents about JFK's assassination for the first time.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
