Hengaw

Hengaw is a Norway-based human rights organization focusing on the Kurdish regions of Iran. It is currently newsworthy due to its reporting on the escalating violence and human rights abuses occurring during the recent anti-government protests in Iran. Hengaw has been cited in multiple news articles for providing updates on civilian deaths, including children, and reporting on the arrests and mistreatment of protesters, including sexual assault and denial of medical care. They also reported on the now-denied planned execution of a protester. Hengaw's reporting is crucial as it provides an independent source of information amidst government restrictions and internet blackouts, highlighting the severity of the crackdown and the human rights violations occurring within Iran during this period of unrest.
