Iran: Government Mismanagement Compounds Covid-19 Crisis
Vaccine Prohibitions, Poor Transparency Undermining Response
Iran
Iranian authorities continue to repress their own people. The country’s security and intelligence apparatus, in partnership with Iran’s judiciary, harshly cracked down on dissent, including through excessive and lethal force against protesters and reported abuse and torture in detention. Impunity remains rampant and Ebrahim Raeesi, a serial human rights violator, took over the presidency in unfair and unfree elections. Deteriorating economic conditions due to US unilateral sanctions, government policies, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic have increased poverty and reduced living standards for millions in Iran.
