Iranians sell their bodies: "Can not afford to live"

The fact that Iran is in the middle of a deep economic crisis is clear on the streets of the capital Tehran.

On lampposts and electrical cabinets are pasted ads from people who want to sell their organs.

- I asked one of them why he put up an ad.

He said he could not afford to live, says trader Mehdi Khosavi.

In April, inflation reached 50 percent in the country.

The economic situation in the country is difficult, largely due to years of US sanctions.

The economic crisis has been central to the election campaign, but despite the dire situation, turnout is expected to be low.

Of the more than 500 candidates who registered for the election, only seven were allowed to stand.

- I wonder if there will be a change in Iran in terms of the economy and social issues.

Will those problems be solved or are they just empty words as in previous elections?

asks Mahsa Osanlou, who does not intend to vote tomorrow.
