“A Dangerous Escalation”: UN Warns Iran Over New Bill

UN investigators are calling on Iran to withdraw a proposed law that would impose prison sentences for communications with foreigners.

They warned that the bill would deepen Iran’s isolation, describing the move as “a dangerous escalation.”

The proposal comes amid heightened scrutiny of Iran’s policies and its relations with people outside the country. The investigators’ appeal focuses on the law’s potential effect on communication across Iran’s borders.
