The report titled “Situation of Human Rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran” was presented at the United Nations General Assembly during its sixty-seventh session, under item 70 (c) of the provisional agenda, focusing on the promotion and protection of human rights, and the situations and reports of special rapporteurs and representatives.
The report by Ahmed Shaheed, the Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, highlights extensive human rights abuses in the country, including systemic repression of civil liberties, arbitrary arrests, and torture. The Iranian government is accused of curtailing freedoms of expression, assembly, and religion, with specific targeting of minority communities like the Baha’is, Christians, and Dervishes. Severe restrictions and abuses affect journalists, human rights defenders, and political dissidents, who face torture, unfair trials, and prolonged solitary confinement. The report also underscores the widespread use of capital punishment, including for minors, and notes due process violations, poor prison conditions, and limitations on legal representation.
