Iran: Security Forces Killing Kurdish Border Couriers
In Poor Region, Scores Killed Taking Goods Across the Iran-Iraq Border
Iran
Iranian authorities unleashed brutal force to repress nationwide protests after the death of a 22-year-old Iranian-Kurdish woman in the custody of the country’s abusive morality police, arresting thousands of protestors and killing hundreds. The country’s security and intelligence apparatus, in partnership with Iran’s judiciary, continued its harsh crackdown on dissent, detaining journalists, labor activists, women’s rights defenders, and peaceful dissidents. Impunity for serious human rights abuses remains rampant.
