to desecrating the quran and insulting the prophet muhammad in 2021. rights groups report that iran has put more than 200 prisoners to death since the beginning of the year. and in a further crackdown on high profile figures iran has charged two well known actresses with violating its strict dress codes for women. the president of iran, ebrahim raisi, has ordered an inquiry into the widespread protests seen here triggered by the death in custody of a young woman, mahsa amini, last september. taraneh stone from bbc persian joined me earlier in studio. this wasn t related to a protest per se, but it s causing a lot of concern about the high number of executions that we re hearing here and there in the news lately. we have heard in the news about many executions, especially the execution of minorities. and they re raising concerns over the imminent execution of some minorities, like arab minorities. now, we know that iran is notorious for executions, for death penalties. and w
condemned. however long minutes joyride ruined our life completely. brooke singman has more. brooke: that s right. the two boys face cri trespassi charges after stealing this black sudan and colliding with a truck. inside the truck was christian and his family. according to a gofundme, the crash left christian with a fractured skull, eventually killing him. his mom is recovering in the hospital. grieving family members are speaking out. they stole a car and stole our lives in the one instance this is not the equivalent price to the price of a child. it is unclear if they will face any charges, this is the latest example of teen chaos in the windy city. in the last three days, 18 people were shot, including a three-year-old boy and a little girl. it is possible the misdemeanor charges could be upgrade pending an investigation. todd: if there are no consequences for actions like this, this stuff will continue to happen because lawmakers refuse to act. kids need an outlet, w
