A blindfolded man is being driven in a car and asks where he is. “Show him,” the passenger in the front seat says. The man’s blindfold is taken off, and he sees Tehran’s Azadi Tower. He is Ruhollah Zam, an Iranian opposition activist, portrayed here in a fictional TV drama but who in real life was lured to Baghdad in 2019 and captured by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Zam was brought to Iran, where he faced a closed-door trial on charges of espionage and stoking violence. Last December, he was executed.
