This 2017 report by Asma Jahangir for the UN Human Rights Council presents an in-depth analysis of the human rights challenges in Iran. It documents a high execution rate—frequently involving juvenile offenders and often linked to drug-related offenses—alongside concerns over due process violations. The report also highlights systemic discrimination and abuses against minorities, women, and activists, detailing substantial limitations on freedoms of expression, assembly, and association. Reports of torture, arbitrary detention, and the denial of medical care in prisons further underscore the issues. Jahangir’s recommendations call for a moratorium on executions, safeguarding of fundamental freedoms, eradication of discriminatory practices, and strengthened cooperation with global human rights bodies to address and resolve these pressing concerns.
