Human rights in Iran

Human rights in Iran refer to the fundamental freedoms and protections entitled to all individuals, including freedom of speech, assembly, and fair treatment under the law. However, reports indicate that Iranian authorities often restrict these rights, suppress political opposition, limit press freedom, and impose harsh punishments for dissent. Women, minorities, and activists frequently face discrimination and repression. While the government asserts to uphold traditional values, many international organizations criticize Iran for human rights violations, calling for greater respect for individual rights, legal protections, and reform to ensure dignity and justice for all its citizens.
