The world may have moved on from the war, but for Iran’s political prisoners and their families, the suffering has not ended. Thousands continue to live with the physical and psychological trauma of torture, abuse, deprivation, and the constant fear of execution. Many remain imprisoned, while their families continue to endure uncertainty about the safety and fate of their loved ones.
The Campaign to Free Political Prisoners in Iran (CFPPI) presents this report as an urgent warning to the international community.
Based on verified reports from across Iran, the report documents how political prisoners and other detainees were left trapped in prisons during wartime, exposed to bombardment, explosions, and fire without evacuation, protection, or adequate access to food, medical care, and other basic necessities. It also documents credible reports of torture, ill-treatment, starvation, forced transfers, enforced disappearances, executions, and politically motivated death sentences.
The findings reveal a consistent pattern: rather than protecting those in its custody, the Islamic regime left prisoners facing a deadly choice—death inside prison from war, abuse, and deprivation, or death by execution.
CFPPI calls on governments, the United Nations, and the international community to act without delay to investigate these violations, protect prisoners at imminent risk, secure the release of political prisoners, and ensure accountability for those responsible. Every day of inaction places more lives at risk.
