According to the UNHCR up to 3.2 million Iranians have now been internally displaced in Iran by the recent escalation of hostilities. Most people flee big cities and move towards north and rural areas. Few crossed the border to Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and the Gulf countries. Two weeks into the war in Iran we are looking closer into the situation of displaced Iranians. We are also speaking to Laleh Taheri about her brother Kaveh - a journalist and human rights activist who have been detained in Turkey. Laleh describes the situation in dTurkish detention and discusses the arbitrary reasons for detaining her brother
