Uniting for Freedom, Democracy & Equality

Human Rights

During the fifty-fourth session of the United Nations Human Rights Council held in Geneva, a conference took place on October 5th. The conference's primary objective was to scrutinize the state of human rights in Iran, particularly under the governance of the clerical dictatorship. Advocates for human rights utilized this platform to call for an extension of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission, which aimed to investigate the harsh suppression of women-led protests that commenced in September 2022. Additionally, they urged the United Nations to initiate an inquiry into the mass execution of political detainees that occurred in Iran in 1988.

Among its darkest chapters is the summer of 1988, when thousands of political prisoners lost their lives in a massacre. State officials, rather than owning up to their roles, try to downplay or deny involvement in what human rights experts consider a "genocide."
