14 June 2025 According to Breathing in Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, quoting Mehr News Agency, Dezful\u2019s public prosecutor Mehdi Amadeh stated that \u201cfollowing the Israeli attack, several individuals who aimed to disrupt the public\u2019s mental security by posting images and video clips on social media were identified and arrested.\u201d No details were provided regarding the identity or number of those arrested, nor the specific content they shared.<\/p>\n Arresting individuals for expressing opinions or sharing content related to current events\u2014especially under vague accusations like \u201cdisrupting public mental security\u201d\u2014is considered a violation of the right to freedom of expression under human rights law. According to international standards, including Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, everyone has the right to express their views freely without fear of arrest.<\/p>\n In a related development, the Office of the Attorney General warned yesterday that posting material deemed \u201cdisruptive to the mental security of society\u201d may result in punitive action and described such acts as part of \u201cthe enemy\u2019s disruptive operations.\u201d<\/p>\n Human rights organisations have repeatedly warned against the arbitrary and securitised interpretation of concepts like \u201cmental security,\u201d arguing that such usage paves the way for repression of fundamental freedoms and curtails open discourse within society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 14 June 2025 News Category: Freedom of Expression Breathing in Confinement – Several citizens in Dezful were arrested solely for publishing videos and making comments on social media about the recent Israeli airstrikes.
