About
The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights is a human rights group that monitors and reports on human rights abuses in Iran. It has recently gained prominence for its reporting on the case of Erfan Soltani, a 26-year-old Iranian protester arrested during anti-government demonstrations in January 2026. Hengaw provided information and images related to Soltani's case, including reports that he was initially sentenced to death. These reports drew international attention, with figures like Donald Trump threatening action if Iran executed protesters. Hengaw's reporting has been crucial in raising awareness about the crackdown on protests in Iran and the potential human rights violations occurring during this period. Soltani has since been released on bail, according to reports, but Hengaw's role in disseminating information about his case and the broader context of the protests remains significant.
