The Iranian American Legal Defense Fund says the United States has deported an Iranian pro-democracy activist to the Central African Republic, according to her lawyer. The lawyer describes the transfer as “super dangerous” and says the activist has no connection to the country. The group also said that three Iranian women who fled persecution faced the prospect of deportation, including one who converted to Christianity. The accounts report that the deportations relate to individuals associated with pro-democracy activity in Iran and who sought protection after fleeing what they describe as persecution. The reports highlight concerns that the women could be exposed to serious harm after removal, particularly given the circumstances of the countries involved and the legal defense group’s assessment of risk. Both outlets attribute the information to the lawyer and the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund, and neither report provides details on the US government’s rationale for the removals.
