Human rights violation in Iran condemned by the Third Committee of the UN<\/strong>GA<\/strong><\/p>\n

For 4 decades, the civilized world has monitored the human rights violations committed by the mullahs\u2019 regime. There has not been a day without human rights abuses in Iran in that period. The Iranian and international human right activists, writers, and NGOs have never been ignorant of that.<\/p>\n

The cases of human rights violation under the ruling mullahs include torture, rape, juvenile execution and of course torture and execution of political prisoners, dissidents and minorities, etc.<\/p>\n

Being systematic is the remarkable characteristic of these inhuman actions. Accordingly, the UN General Assembly has paid special attention to the human rights abuses in Iran, issuing 65 resolutions in condemnation so far. The last one adopted was on Nov. 15, 2018.<\/p>\n

Following the human rights violations in Iran, the General Assembly has dedicated a special rapporteur to the situation of human rights in Iran from 1984.<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime has refused to issue them\u00a0the\u00a0visa to enter the country except for one case.<\/p>\n

The General Assembly\u2019s Human Rights Committee adopted the resolution by a vote of 85-30, with 68 abstentions, after reviewing detailed reports filed by its special rapporteur. It is virtually certain to be approved by the 193-member world body next month.<\/p>\n

In the resolution, the committee expressed its concern over the high number of executions, dire prison conditions, torture and arbitrary arrests in Iran.<\/p>\n

Referring to the reports of the United Nations Secretary-General and the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights on Iran<\/a>, the resolution states, that the Iranian government has increased suppression of protesters, journalists and social network users over the past year.<\/p>\n
