Services
Equal Human Rights (EHR) empowers individuals and communities through education, advocacy, and opportunity. The organization offers scholarships and internships focused on Human Rights and STEM fields, supporting students, researchers, and emerging professionals, particularly those from refugee, immigrant, and underrepresented backgrounds. In addition to advancing education and ethical research, EHR actively advocates for individuals in need, working to protect dignity, expand access to resources, and promote human rights through lawful, compassionate action.
AI Surveillance & Human Rights in Iran and China
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the way governments and institutions monitor populations. Our latest research explores how AI-driven surveillance technologies—such as facial recognition, mass data monitoring, and automated tracking—can be used in ways that threaten fundamental human rights, particularly in regions where transparency and accountability are limited. With a focus on documented developments in Iran and China, this study examines how advanced technologies may contribute to violations of privacy, freedom of expression, and civil liberties.
Equal Human Rights is seeking independent partners, researchers, and institutions interested in contributing to or co-publishing this research as an unbiased examination of technology and human rights. If you are interested in supporting or participating in this work—or helping expand research that raises awareness about the human rights implications of emerging technologies—we encourage you to contact us or consider supporting this initiative through partnership or donation.
Human Rights Concerns Amid Communication Blackouts and Rising Tensions in Iran
Since February 28, 2026, Iran has experienced a period of heightened instability accompanied by growing concerns about human rights conditions inside the country. Reports from civil society groups and monitoring organizations indicate that, alongside broader political and security tensions, authorities have imposed severe internet restrictions and communication blackouts, dramatically limiting people’s ability to communicate with the outside world, access reliable information, or report on events taking place within the country. For many Iranian families, both inside and outside Iran, this disruption has created deep anxiety, as millions of people have been unable to contact loved ones or verify their safety. At the same time, many civilians are living under an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, worried about potential government crackdowns, continued instability, and the consequences of prolonged isolation from the global community.Human rights advocates have also raised concerns that communication blackouts and heightened security measures can increase the risk of violations such as arbitrary arrests, suppression of peaceful expression, and restrictions on freedom of assembly and information. When internet access and independent reporting are limited, documenting abuses and ensuring accountability becomes significantly more difficult. In addition to these concerns, the ongoing instability raises humanitarian risks, including potential shortages of food, medicine, electricity, and other essential services if disruptions continue. From a humanitarian perspective, the protection of civilians, access to information, and the ability for individuals to communicate freely remain essential components of basic human rights, particularly during times of crisis when populations are already vulnerable.
Global Rallies Supporting Human Rights and Unity in Iran
Since January 2026, rallies and public gatherings have taken place in cities around the world as members of the Iranian diaspora and supporters raise awareness about human rights conditions in Iran and express solidarity with civilians advocating for dignity, freedom, and basic civil liberties. These demonstrations have occurred across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, reflecting growing international attention to the situation facing many people inside the country.
On February 14, a coordinated Global Day of Action brought together large gatherings in several cities, including Los Angeles (approximately 350,000 participants), Toronto (approximately 350,000), and Munich (approximately 250,000), according to local police reports and event organizers. Participants gathered to highlight concerns related to civil rights, political freedoms, and the treatment of civilians. Following developments that began around February 28, many rallies have continued, with messages increasingly emphasizing the protection of Iran’s territorial integrity and the inclusion of all ethnicities and cultural communities within the country, alongside calls for respect for human rights and a peaceful future for the Iranian people.
