Iran Targets Independent Lawyers as Post‑War Crackdown Expands
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Iranian authorities have stepped up pressure on independent lawyers amid a broader post‑war crackdown, according to the Center for Human Rights in Iran. The organization reports a surge in arrests, intimidation and legal harassment of lawyers who have represented opposition figures and human‑rights activists.
The Center’s statement cites a growing number of cases in which lawyers face detention, travel bans and threats to their professional licenses. Officials have also reportedly increased surveillance of legal offices and restricted access to court documents.
These actions come as Iran continues to tighten control over civil society following the end of the war, with the government citing security concerns as justification for its measures.
