; Abstract: "The 60-page report documents the experiences of dozens of rights defenders, journalists and bloggers, and lawyers whom security and intelligence forces targeted because they spoke out against the government. Some who took part in anti-government protests after the 2009 election had never been politically active before, but suddenly found themselves in the crosshairs of security and intelligence forces. Many Iranian refugees and asylum seekers interviewed by Human Rights Watch described difficult conditions and long processing times for their asylum applications during their stay in Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan."--Publisher's website.; Contents: Summary—Recommendations—Methodology—I. Background—II. Attacks on civil society—III. Refugee’s stories—IV. Their lives as refugees—Acknowledgments
