Story
Urgently fundraising for the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran, an independent, non-political, non-profit organization dedicated to documenting human rights violations.
By now you’ve seen what’s happening across the nation. The gravity of the massacre is being buried, and this organization makes sure the truth is recorded.
ABC documents executions, state violence, and due-process abuses in Iran with care and objectivity, preserving thousands of names and testimonies. By building public records and amplifying victims’ voices, their work prevents denial, and lays the groundwork for future accountability.
Undocumented crimes are easily denied and forgotten. When the full extent of crimes are hidden, the regime is more likely to get away with relentless brutality and oppression.
Over the last 47 years and into today protests have been met with brutal state repression. The latest unrest is believed to have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of injuries. Exact numbers remain unknown due to censorship, internet shutdowns, and state control of information.
Security forces have carried out mass killings of protesters as the government enforces a near-total internet shutdown to restrict reporting and global awareness.
Individuals detained during these protests face the death penalty and harsh punishment without due process. No one knows how this crisis will evolve, but accountability depends on knowing the truth.
We need to understand the full scope of these crimes so that they are documented, remembered, and can’t be denied by history. Documentation is slow, careful, and costly. It takes time to verify names, deaths, and evidence.
Now is the time to help keep this work going, so crimes can’t be denied, rewritten, or erased later.
