Masih Alinejad, the charismatic Iranian dissident and journalist who prosecutors say was targeted by her former homeland’s government for assassination, is set to testify Tuesday at the trial of two men accused in the plot.
Alinejad, an author and contributor to Voice of America, is scheduled to take the witness stand at midday at a Manhattan federal trial that has already featured testimony from the man who says he was hired to kill her in the summer of 2022.
