The Iranian regime’s armed forces, shoot, kill, or injure innocent civilians without being held accountable.

Iranian authorities often attempt to justify their deadly force used by security forces by claiming without evidence that the forces were confronting “thugs” or “dangerous suspects.”

There are almost daily reports of police and border guards opening fire on Kurd border porters in western Iran and civilians carrying fuel in southeastern Iran. Iranian security forces carry out these shootings with impunity.

This is while Iranian law requires armed forces to reduce the chances of death when using force.

Article 2 of the Law on the Use of Weapons by the Armed Forces in an Emergency states that law enforcement agents must have “complete control of their weapon” while Article 7 stipulates that they should “preferably target the legs to make sure it does not cause death or hurt third parties.”

Article 2 also requires the authorities to “take care of injured persons and transfer them to medical centers as soon as possible.”
