Moderator: Mehrdad Hariri

In the wake of the recent protests in Iran, thousands have been detained, hundreds have been beaten, dozens have been killed, prisoners have been systematically abused, and yet the questions of ethical responsibility and political accountability have gone unanswered.  The current panel will labour to address some of these concerns and hopefully will lay the ground for future considerations of these matters.
