Episode Synopsis

In this gripping episode of East to West, host Sarah Martinez Amir speaks with Iranian activist Gazelle Sharmahd — the daughter of Jamshid, a journalist kidnapped, tortured, and executed by the Islamic regime. As Israeli airstrikes hit the gates of Iran’s notorious Evin Prison, Gazelle shares a deeply personal and unflinching account of life under the Islamic regime. From the systematic torture of children to the regime’s infiltration of Western discourse, this is a raw, urgent conversation about human rights, justice, and the future of a free Iran.
