The Abdorrahman Boroumand Center (ABC) for Human Rights in Iran today launched "Iran: State Violence Beyond Borders," an interactive mapping project that visualizes more than four decades of extrajudicial executions, kidnappings, and death threats attributed to the Islamic Republic of Iran. This groundbreaking tool, which is available to the public, sheds light on the systematic use of transnational violence by Iranian authorities to silence dissent both inside and outside of the country. The map reveals the chilling reality that from the Middle East to North America to South Africa, no region or nation is safe from the long arm of Iran’s state-sponsored violence. It highlights not only the scale of these operations but also the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators, often facilitated by the reluctance or failure of host countries to act decisively due to political, economic, or national security considerations.

Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran (ABC) is thrilled to announce that on November 27th, 2024, one of our co-founders, Dr. Ladan Boroumand, has been awarded an honorary professorship in the field of history by the University of Parma, Italy.

More than two years after the death in detention of Mahsa Jina Amini on September 16, 2022, and the "Woman, Life, Freedom" uprising it ignited, the families of slain protesters are still waiting for truth and justice. The latest report from Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran, "Woman, Life, Freedom: Victims’ Fight for Accountability Amid Repression," reveals the systemic obstacles and repression faced by families seeking accountability for the killings of their loved ones.
