Briefing: ‘Transnational repression’: Iranian diaspora faces harassment, death threats, pressure on families
Strategic angle: Iran's transnational repression has intensified, affecting the Iranian diaspora with threats and harassment.
Iran's repression strategies are increasingly affecting its diaspora, as reported by Dr. Roya Boroumand from the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights. These tactics include harassment and death threats aimed at individuals abroad.
The implications for infrastructure and community networks are profound. As diaspora members face pressure, the operational capacity of these communities may be compromised, affecting their ability to mobilize and advocate.
Moreover, families of dissidents in Iran are reportedly subjected to coercive measures, creating a feedback loop that further destabilizes the diaspora’s cohesion and operational integrity.
