The sisters were deported to Iran - hear them talk about the terror

Two sisters deported from Sweden to Iran describe their terrifying experiences as bombs began to fall in their home country amidst rising tensions and repression.

Two sisters, recently deported from Sweden to Iran, have expressed their fear and despair following the onset of bombings in Iran. They sent a harrowing message to their friends in Sweden stating, 'Goodbye, we are going to die now,' highlighting the dire situation they found themselves in. The sisters initially faced the challenges of witnessing violent protests against the Iranian regime, which intensified after their deportation from their previous home in western Sweden.

Faced with aggressive military actions from both the United States and Israel, the sisters are now amidst a conflict that sees significant limitations on communication for Iranians under the current regime. In recent days, the Iranian government has imposed strict controls that have disrupted the ability for ordinary citizens to reach out to the outside world, including a blackout of internet services that has severely hindered information sharing about the ongoing situation. Reports of detentions for those suspected of collaborating with perceived enemies have also surfaced since the major protests began earlier this year.

Despite these challenges, SVT has managed to connect with the sisters through an acquaintance, allowing them to relay their urgent messages about their plight. To protect their identities, SVT has chosen not to disclose their names or specific locations within Iran, illustrating the sensitive nature of their current circumstances. Their story serves as a poignant reminder of the humanitarian impact of political turmoil and the often perilous situation faced by those deported back to their home countries during times of conflict and repression.
