Asma Baloch, a dedicated women's rights and social activist, faces imminent deportation from Sweden to Iran, raising concerns for her future and safety.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, 34-year-old Asma Baloch, from Bam City in Kerman Province, is currently under severe threat of deportation.

Reliable sources have confirmed that the Swedish Migration Agency is proceeding with Asma Baloch's deportation.

This activist has contributed significantly to documenting atrocities, including those against Baloch fuel traffickers, individual executions, and arbitrary shootings by Iranian police and security forces.

The reasons behind Asma Baloch's deportation threat remain unclear. However, it is known that she and her family have faced threats of assassination from mercenaries affiliated with Iranian security agencies during their residency in Sweden, which coincided with the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.
