Based on the Report submitted to
Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran-Abadan, security and intelligence
forces have collaborated with a number of government-supported rogue groups who
have put the supporters of Mr. Boroujerdi’s, as well as their homes and work
places, under continuous intimidation and threats of harm. This escalating
harassment, committed by these rogue groups affiliated with the government, is
just the latest round of persecution by the regime against Mr. Boroujerdi and
his supporters. The harassment includes distributing their phone numbers,
hacking their phones, and publicly portraying them as traitors to the regime
and Iran‘s Islamic Republic. Many supporters in Iran’s southern cities have
been systematically suppressed, including being expelled from administrative
positions and jobs because of their political activities.
