Geneva, Switzerland—April 4, 2024: A gathering of freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the Iranian Resistance coincided with the 55th Session of the UN Human Rights Council, the approval of extending the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, and the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) on Human Rights Violations during the September 2022 uprising in Iran. The gathering was held in front of the United Nations Headquarters.

During their demonstrations, freedom-loving Iranians demanded the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and member states to refer the case of the regime’s human rights violations to the United Nations Security Council and to hold the leaders of the regime accountable for crimes against humanity.

Iranians also carried banners and placards and chanted slogans against the religious dictatorship regime in Iran and expressed their solidarity with the Iranian revolution. These slogans included the following:

The perpetrators and those who ordered the killing of 750 demonstrators of the recent nationwide uprisings of the Iranian people should be accountable and tried.

Iran’s regime holds the record for executions in the world, stop the execution of prisoners and demonstrators.

Don’t make human rights a victim of appeasement with the regime of murderers of Iranian people.

Death to Khamenei, death to the dictator, death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or be it the leader (Khamenei).

In addition, the demonstrators urged the international community to take a firm policy against the regime’s human rights violations and recognize the Iranian people’s right to self-defense.
