The United States has deported an Iranian pro-democracy activist to the Central African Republic, according to her lawyer, raising concerns about her safety. The activist, an Iranian American, had fled persecution in Iran. Her legal representation at the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund (IALDF) expressed alarm, characterizing the transfer as exceptionally dangerous due to the activist’s lack of ties to the Central African Republic and the country’s instability. IALDF had previously reported that three Iranian women, including one who converted to Christianity, were facing potential deportation. The reasons for the deportation and the US government’s justification for choosing the Central African Republic remain unclear. The activist’s supporters fear for her well-being in a country with limited resources and ongoing conflict.
