NCRI \u2013 The United Nations General Assembly must condemn the human rights abuses being carried out in Iran by the mullahs\u2019 regime, Kimmo Sasi, a former lawmaker and government minister from Finland, said in an interview with NCR-Iran.org.<\/p>\n
The July 14 nuclear deal between Iran\u2019s regime and the major world powers \u201chas not changed the situation in Iran in relations to human rights,\u201d Mr. Sasi said on the sidelines of a meeting at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on September 18 in which the staggering rate of executions in Iran during Hassan Rouhani\u2019s tenure as President was strongly condemned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the United Nations General Assembly meets this autumn, they have to condemn the infringement of human rights in Iran,\u201d Mr. Sasi said, adding that the international community must not ignore human rights abuses in Iran as attention is paid to the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n
He urged the UN General Assembly to be clear in insisting that it would \u201cnot accept infringements against human rights\u201d in Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe UN Security Council must make a decision concerning infringements of human rights, and punitive measures must take place so there is clear pressure against Iran to improve the situation and follow the international norms of the United Nations to guarantee basic human rights to all citizens of the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
