Iran's human rights abuses

Iran’s human rights record includes widespread government suppression of dissent, censorship of media, and limitations on freedom of speech and assembly. Authorities have detained, imprisoned, or executed individuals for expressing political views, religious beliefs, or opposing the government. Sexual and gender minorities face discrimination and violence. Women encounter restrictions on their rights and freedoms. There have been reports of torture, unfair trials, and suppression of protests. These practices violate international standards for human rights, reflecting systemic issues within Iran’s legal and political systems that restrict personal freedoms and repress opposition.
