Iranian political prisoners

Iranian political prisoners are individuals detained because of their opposition to or criticism of the government, advocacy for political reform, or participation in protests. They often include activists, journalists, students, and minorities who seek greater political freedoms or human rights. These prisoners may face lengthy detention, unfair trials, and harsh treatment, reflecting Iran's strict control over dissent. Their imprisonment highlights tensions between government authority and calls for democratic change, raising concerns about human rights and political repression within the country.
