A film that challenges the passivity of the international community in the face of ongoing political repression in Iran, IRAN: VOICES OF THE UNHEARD brings us the untold story of Iranian secularists through three fascinating characters. Each is from a distinct social, economic and educational background but all share a love for their motherland and a need for a country free from political repression and theocracy.
Human Rights Watch's recent work on Iran has focused on the human rights situation under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - highlighted in our September 2008 report entitled Iran: Rights Crisis Escalates - as well as the situation of human rights defenders and related issues of censorship and harassment.
