‘Transnational repression’: Iranian diaspora faces harassment, death threats, pressure on families
Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Dr. Roya Boroumand, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran. According to Dr. Boroumand, Iran's transnational repression began in the aftermath of the 1979 revolution. Over time, this strategy has adapted, becoming more technologically mediated, and more globally embedded. It serves multiple functions for the Iranian state: it silences dissent beyond its borders, deters political engagement within diaspora communities, and reinforces the regime’s narrative of legitimacy.
