From Morning Report, 8:39 am on 27 October 2022

A Kurdish Iranian writer now living in New Zealand says the government needs to do more regarding the actions of Iran's government.

Two New Zealanders are understood to have been detained for months after entering Iran in July.

They left Iran yesterday.

Behrouz Boochani, who was granted refugee status in New Zealand in July 2020, says New Zealand should speak out loudly against the Iranian regime.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
