Debt, Human Rights, and Refugees

This chapter examines the historical debt incurred by Iran due to an unfulfilled military contract in the 1970s, alongside the troubling realities of its prison system marked by abuse and lack of accountability. It contrasts the experiences of imprisoned individuals in Iran with the silenced narratives of Uighur Muslims in China, while also addressing the complexities surrounding Syrian refugees in Denmark. The discussion highlights the perilous consequences of repatriation and the systemic brutality endured by returnees, illustrated by stark evidence from Human Rights Watch.
