Thousands of detained protesters in the Islamic Republic of Iran at risk of secret massacre<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thousands of people who took part in recent anti-government protests in the Islamic Republic of Iran are at serious risk of being secretly executed or tortured to death in the country\u2019s prisons.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the protests began in November 2019, the authorities have carried out the bloodiest crackdown on protesters since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports suggest that detainees are being tortured or are suffering other forms of ill-treatment, sometimes to extract forced confessions. Some are also reportedly being denied medical treatment, including for injuries caused by the security forces\u2019 use of excessive force, and are being held in overcrowded detention\u00a0<\/span>centers<\/span>. Some are being held incommunicado or subjected to enforced disappearances.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

International recognition of the 1988 massacre<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In December 2018, Amnesty International published a 201-page report \u201cBlood-soaked secrets: Why\u00a0<\/span>Iran\u2019s 1988 prison massacres<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are ongoing crimes against humanity\u201d 10 calling on the UN to set up an independent investigation to help bring those responsible for these abhorrent crimes to justice.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Time for international action<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On behalf of our respective NGOs, we appeal to the Human Rights Council to take urgent action to end the impunity enjoyed by Iranian officials and prevent the massacre of detained protesters. Leaders of the\u00a0<\/span>Iranian government must face justice for committing crimes against humanity in the massive suppression and bloodshed of recent months.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The UN must immediately dispatch fact-finding missions to investigate the cases of those killed or imprisoned since the November protests.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, we believe that until the international community holds the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre to account, Iran\u2019s authorities would continue to be emboldened to further crack down with impunity on present-day protesters. Iranian officials construe silence and inaction by the international community as a green light to continue and step up their crimes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We therefore call on the Human Rights Council to set up a commission of inquiry into the 1988 massacre and achieve justice for the victims of that crime against humanity.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We urge High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet to support the launch of independent factfinding missions into the\u00a0<\/span>1988 massacre<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and the recent slaughter of anti-government protesters.<\/span><\/p>\n

F<\/span>urthermore, we appeal to the UN Special Procedures,\u00a0in particular the\u00a0Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Javaid Rehman, and the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, Fabian Salvioli, to investigate Iran\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>1988 massacre<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as part of their mandates.<\/span><\/p>\n
