The United States has deported an Iranian pro-democracy activist to the Central African Republic, her lawyer told the Reuters news agency.
Emily Trostle, who represents the woman, as well as two other Iranian women facing deportation from the US, said that she had told US authorities the move was “super dangerous”.
“These individuals are being removed from the United States and abandoned in a country where they have no status, no connection and no support network. We fear they will ultimately be forced to return to the countries they originally fled,” Trostle told Reuters.
The US State Department and Central African Republic’s presidency did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters about the deportations to the Central African Republic.
The US Department of Homeland Security said last week that all deportees would receive full due process.
