Nearly two dozen people who fled Iran are scheduled to be deported to the Central African Republic, according to lawyers representing the individuals. The group includes women who had sought to escape Iran.

The Central African Republic has been designated by the U.S. State Department with a "Do not travel" advisory, citing significant safety and security concerns in the country. The advisory represents the highest level of travel warning issued by the U.S. government.

Legal representatives for the individuals have raised concerns about the planned deportations to a country with such security designations. The specific circumstances that led to the deportation orders and the current legal status of those affected have not been detailed in available reports.

The case highlights ongoing challenges faced by individuals seeking refuge from Iran and the complex legal processes surrounding immigration enforcement. Details about the timeline for the planned deportations and any ongoing legal challenges were not immediately available.
