A recent report from the United Nations’ Independent International Iran Fact-Finding Mission has revealed that the Iranian regime is using digital technology and “state-sponsored vigilantism” to suppress dissent following the “Women, Life, Freedom” protests in 2022. The report highlights gross human rights violations, including crimes against humanity, committed by Iranian authorities. Women and girls are particularly targeted, with measures like the “Hijab and Chastity” law and the “Noor” plan being used to restrict their rights. The government has also expanded surveillance and control, banning VPNs, tracking online activity, and deactivating SIM cards of journalists and activists. Aerial drones and a mobile app called “Nazer” are used to monitor hijab compliance, while ethnic and religious minorities face discriminatory treatment. Despite these challenges, women and girls in Iran continue to push back against oppressive practices. The international community is urged to support their struggle for freedom. The report underscores the urgent need for action to address human rights violations in Iran.
