About this episode

This episode explores the tragic case of Bijan Ebrahimi, a man who became a victim of violence due to false accusations and community failure.

Bijan Ebrahimi was a vulnerable man who repeatedly sought help from authorities after becoming the target of hostility and false accusations in his Bristol neighbourhood. Instead of receiving protection, he would become the victim of a brutal killing that shocked the United Kingdom and raised serious questions about prejudice, community responsibility, and systemic failure. In this episode, we look at who Bijan was, how rumours escalated into violence, and the devastating consequences of being wrongly suspected and left unprotected. This case is a powerful reminder of how quickly fear and misinformation can destroy lives.
