Video Series: The Right to Childhood in Iran under systemic state violence
This video series addresses the ongoing uprising in Iran and documents the systematic killing, arrest, detention, and repression of children by the state. It shows how children are deliberately exposed to lethal force, arbitrary detention, torture, and psychological harm, and how these crimes are justified through the language of “security,” order, and governance.
