伊拉克埃尔比勒—— 随着美伊结束这场已持续90天的战争的协议希望起起落落，几乎没有迹象表明这个统治伊朗近半个世纪的专制政权会很快倒台。正如人权组织警告的那样，处决人数急剧上升，一些伊朗人担心伊朗伊斯兰共和国非但不会被推翻，反而会变得更加残暴。
参与过两轮反政府抗议活动后，22岁的卡尔万和比他小两岁的兄弟卡维安在躲藏数月后，最终于5月13日决定离开伊朗。他们抛下了一切——家人、朋友和大学学业。
“我们的生命受到了威胁。如果我们留下来，会面临监禁和处决，”卡尔万在伊拉克北部库尔德地区接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，兄弟二人已在该地避难。
“战争期间局势混乱，但停火后，政权对民众的压制变得更加极端，”卡维安补充道。
由于仍在伊朗的家人和相关人员需要保护，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻未透露这两名年轻男子的全名。他们表示，自己参与了2022年的“女性、生命、自由”抗议活动。那场抗议活动由玛莎·阿米尼在警方拘留期间死亡引发。
和兄弟二人一样，阿米尼也是伊朗库尔德少数民族成员，生活在伊朗西部的库尔德核心地区，这里长期以来对伊朗神权统治者充满深刻的敌意和不信任。
卡尔万和卡维安还参与了今年1月席卷伊朗的大规模抗议活动，随后抗议被政权暴力镇压。特朗普总统称镇压行动造成3.2万人死亡，但这一数字尚未得到证实。人权组织表示，有数万人被捕，数十人已被处决。
“我们感受到了紧张局势，目睹了人们如何被逮捕、受伤。我们看到他们抗议政权并奋起反抗，这样他们的声音才能被听到，”卡尔万告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。“参与抗议、发出我们的声音，让我们感到自己的行动有了意义。”
“我们看到人们如何高呼反对国家和政府，如何向当局投掷石块，以及政权如何使用催泪瓦斯驱散人群，造成多人受伤，”卡维安说道。
特朗普总统于4月8日宣布与伊朗停火，尽管近期仍有交火，但随着两国间接谈判继续进行，停火协议表面上仍然有效。
但停火并未给大多数伊朗人带来多少缓解。
“我们感觉到政权又开始追捕民众了，”卡尔万说。“他们逮捕参加抗议的人，指控他们是以色列间谍。甚至有人只是因为拍摄爆炸地点的照片就被逮捕。”
兄弟二人表示，库尔德地区的局势比伊朗其他地区更糟。他们说经济遭受重创，城市里的政权检查站更多，安全部队会检查人们的身份证和手机，“寻找任何可以用来指控你的东西”。
“在这样一个残暴的政权下，仅仅因为提高嗓门就可能被拘留、遭受酷刑甚至被处决，”人权组织“亨高人权组织”的调查人员吉拉·莫斯塔杰告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
根据亨高组织的数据，今年年初的抗议活动期间约有4万人被拘留，虽然大多数人已获释，但仍有许多人被关押。该组织称，被捕的抗议者中有31人被判处死刑，其中15人已被处决。
“离开家人寻求安全对我们来说非常艰难，但我们选择冒险，因为我们在这里更安全，”卡尔万谈及兄弟二人抛下家人的决定时说。“我们希望远离故土，向世界展示正在发生的一切，这样世界才能了解伊朗国内的真实情况。”
这两名年轻男子没有任何计划，也不知道未来的生活会变成什么样，但他们表示，只要伊朗伊斯兰共和国政权仍在掌权，他们就不会返回伊朗。
卡尔万告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他们希望世界能看到伊朗人的苦难，并推动实现特朗普总统四个多月前提出的变革——而不仅仅是霍尔木兹海峡或伊朗核项目方面的新协议。
“他们总是谈论如果政权掌握铀会有多危险，”他说。“如果你们真正了解他们如何对待本国人民，就绝不会让他们浓缩铀，也绝不会让这个政权存在下去。”
“他们是一个极其危险的政权，”他补充道，并呼吁世界各地的人们“深入了解”，因为“如果他们对本国人民都能做出这种事，想象一下他们会对世界其他国家做什么”。

Erbil, Iraq— As hopes for a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the war, now in its 90th day, rise and fall, there’s little indication that the oppressive regime that’s ruled over the country for almost half a century is going anywhere soon. As rights groups warn of a dramatic rise in executions, some Iranians fear the Islamic Republic, rather than being toppled, may become more brutal.
After taking part in two rounds of anti-government protests, Karvan, 22, and his brother Kavian, who’s two years younger, finally made the decision to leave Iran on May 13, after living in hiding for months. They left everything behind — family, friends and their university studies.
“Our lives were in danger. If we had stayed, we would have faced jail and execution,” Karvan told CBS News in Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region, where the brothers have taken refuge.
“During the war, the situation was chaotic, but after the ceasefire the regime became even more extreme against the people,” Kavian added.

The young men, whose full names CBS News is not using to protect their families and associates still in Iran, said they took part in 2022 in the “Woman, Life, Freedom” demonstrations. Those protests were sparked by the killing of Mahsa Amini in police custody.
Like the brothers, Amini was a member of Iran’s Kurdish minority and lived in the country’s western Kurdish heartland, where there has long been deep animosity and distrust toward the country’s theocratic rulers.
Karvan and Kavian also took part in the massive protests that swept across Iran in January, before the uprising was violently quashed by the regime. President Trump has said 32,000 people were killed in the crackdown, though that figure has not been verified. Rights groups say tens of thousands were arrested and dozens have already been executed.

“We felt the tension, and we saw how people were arrested and injured. We saw how they demonstrated against the regime and fought back against them, so their voices could be heard,” Karvan told CBS News. “It gave us a feeling of purpose to participate in the demonstrations and make our voices heard.”
“We saw how people were shouting against the state and government. We saw how they threw stones at the authorities and how the regime used gas bombs against them to disperse them, injuring many people,” Kavian said.
President Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran on April 8, which, despite recent exchanges of fire, is still ostensibly in place as indirect negotiations between the two countries continue.
But the truce brought little relief for most Iranians.
“We felt that the regime started going after people again,” said Karvan. “They were arresting people who went to the demonstrations, accusing them of being Israeli spies. They were even arresting people just for taking photos of bombed locations.”
The brothers said the situation in Kurdish areas is even worse than other parts of Iran. They said the economy is suffering badly, and there are more regime checkpoints in cities where security forces check people’s IDs and phones, “looking for anything that could be held against you.”
“Under such a brutal regime it is possible to be detained, tortured and even get executed just for raising your voice,” Zhila Mostajer, an investigator for the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, told CBS News.
According to Hengaw, about 40,000 people were detained during the protests early this year, and while most have since been released, many remain behind bars. The organization says 31 people detained during the protests have been sentenced to death, and 15 have already been executed.
“It was very hard for us, but we chose to take the risk because we are safer here,” Karvan said of the brothers’ decision to leave their family behind to seek safety. “We hoped to be away to show the world what is happening, so the world understands what is happening inside Iran.”
The young men have no plan and no idea how their lives will shape up now, but they said they won’t return to Iran while the Islamic Republic regime is still in control.
Karvan told CBS News they hope the world will see how Iranians are suffering and push for the change that President Trump offered more than four months ago — and not just a new deal on the Strait of Hormuz or Iran’s nuclear program.
“They always talk about how uranium is a danger if it is in the regime’s hands,” he said. “If you truly knew how they treat their people, you would never let them enrich uranium, and you would never let this regime exist.”
“They are a really dangerous regime,” he added, urging people around the world to “look deeper,” because “if they do this to their own people, just imagine what they would do to the rest of the world.”
