U.S. Deports Iranian Asylum Seekers to Central African Republic Amid Safety Concerns

At least one Iranian woman seeking asylum was deported to the Central African Republic, a country the U.S. advises against traveling to due to severe risks.
Multiple Iranian women, including those protected by court orders, were targeted for deportation despite fears of persecution in their home country.
Critics argue that the deportation reflects a disregard for legal protections and due process, with advocates calling it a 'death sentence' for the deportees.
