Today's show begins with an exclusive report on what’s happening to Iranian protesters behind bars. Demonstrations have been ongoing since September, as people continue to take to the street across the country, and as many as 14,000 people have been arrested since protests began. Now, troubling accusations are emerging about the treatment they’re facing while detained, with men and women alleging sexual assault by Iran’s security forces. CNN's Nima Elbagir has the story. Following her report, Christiane speaks with Maziar Bahari an Iranian-Canadian filmmaker and human rights activist.
