Iranian HR defenders may face terror charges

Iran's Committee of Human Rights Reporters (CHRR) has faced unprecedented pressure in recent months. Many of its members have been threatened and arrested. Authorities have demanded that CHRR shut down its website.

The authorities are trying to force CHRR members to confess to having cooperated with the terrorist organization, People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK/MKO). The United States and Canada have designated PMOI as a terrorist organization.

CHRR is an independent organization that reports about human rights violations in Iran. The organization has been reporting about violations of the rights of political prisoners, children, women, students, and other members of society.
