The Iranian government is well-known for its repressive policies against its population, best exemplified by the state’s violent response to the nationwide protests after the death of Mahsa Amini. While the 2024 election of President Masoud Pezeshkian generated hope for tolerance, Tehran passed last December a new draconian law against women and girls. The situation is worse for the country’s non-Fars ethnic populations like Azerbaijani Turks, Kurds, and Baloch.
