Political repression has been exercised in Iran since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, which culminated in Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini rise to power and the establishment of an Islamic theocracy which has maintained its power by combining Islamic principles with the authoritarian policy which was imposed by the Pahlavi royal regime which it previously overthrew. Throughout its history, The Islamic Republic has executed, massacred and tortured those who it considers potential dissidents. Survivors described being blindfolded, waiting in the corridors to be brought before the committee, and witnessing prisoners being taken to their executions, including those whose health had deteriorated due to torture. It has been alleged that these techniques are employed with the intent to silence critics of the regime, especially female dissidents. In 2024, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran published a report that categorised the 1981–1982 massacres and 1988 executions as crimes against humanity and genocide. Since the 2026 Iran massacres, the repression has become nearly total, with prohibitions against open dissent being strictly enforced.
