Iran's government is detaining family members of opposition figures in exile, according to some who spoke to The Associated Press. The crackdown on dissent comes amid the ongoing war with the United States and Israel. The internet shutdown during recent nationwide protests has made documenting these actions difficult. Iran "took my mother away to make me be quiet," one activist in exile says. Iran's judiciary is also seizing property of outspoken exiles. Rights groups report worsening conditions inside Iran, with increased detentions and executions. The situation has inspired new attempts to organize the Iranian opposition abroad.
