Iranian abroad says intimidation extends beyond borders
An Iranian woman calling Iran International from the Netherlands said pressure and threats against critics extend beyond Iran’s borders, warning that fear has become systematic and long-lasting for those who speak out.
Mira said she had lived for years under surveillance and intimidation in Iran and now faces similar pressure abroad because of her public criticism.
“These fears are not imagined, and they have been placed inside us in a systematic way,” she said.
She urged international media and governments to move beyond documenting testimony.
“Do not just record people’s voices, and take them seriously,” she said.
