Nowhere Left To Turn / The Murder Of Bijan Ebrahimi

Bijan Ebrahimi lived on the ground floor in a four-story block of flats located on Capgrave Crescent in Bristol. Bijan, a shy man and an Iranian immigrant, suffered from health problems that left him disabled. He had a close bond with his family and took joy in tending to his garden in a communal area that overlooked the surrounding flats. Despite being quiet, he didn't go unnoticed. He was verbally abused by some of his neighbours, as he was seen as being “different” and viewed as an easy target by his tormentors. His pleas to the local authorities for help were met with complacency, and Bijan was dismissed as being a pest and annoyance. Bijan recorded some of these incidents, however, this antagonised a gang of nearly two dozen residents who surrounded Bijan’s flat in July 2013. *** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED AS THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ADULT THEMES AND DESCRIPTIONS THAT SOME LISTENERS MAY FIND DISTRESSING *** Vote for us at the Lovie Awards here: https://vote.lovieawards.eu/PublicVoting#/2017/mobile-sites-apps-podcasts/podcasts/podcasts-entertainment Facebook Group for the London True Crime Meet Up: https://www.facebook.com/groups/612876758917713/ More information can be found on our website at http://theywalkamonguspodcast.com For early advert free access and other extras visit https://www.patreon.com/TheyWalkAmongUs MUSIC Laserdisc by Chris Zabriskie I Need to Start Writing Things Down by Chris Zabriskie Cylinder Two by Chris Zabriskie I Am a Man Who Will Fight for Your Honor by Chris Zabriskie Cylinder Five by Chris Zabriskie The Dark Glow of the Mountains by Chris Zabriskie Cylinder Six by Chris Zabriskie Purchase the tracks here: https://chriszabriskie.bandcamp.com/ All music sourced from http://freemusicarchive.org and used under an Attribution License - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ You can follow us via our social media profiles: Twitter - https://twitter.com/TWAU_Podcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/theywalkamonguspodcast/ Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1346814312074979/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theywalkamonguspodcast/ Acast - https://www.acast.com/theywalkamongus
