\u2018Politics of demonization\u2019 upbringing division and fear<\/strong><\/p>\nAmnesty International releases its Annual Report for 2016 to 2017. The report, The State of the World\u2019s Human Rights, delivers the most comprehensive analysis of the state of human rights around the world, covering 159 countries. It says in part that in 2016, governments turned a blind eye to war crimes, pushed through deals that undermine the right to claim asylum, passed laws that violate free expression, incited murder of people simply because they are accused of using drugs, justified torture and mass surveillance, and extended draconian police powers.Governments also turned on refugees and migrants; often an easy target for scapegoating. Amnesty International\u2019s Annual Report documents how 36 countries violated international law by unlawfully sending refugees back to a country where their rights were at risk.<\/p>\n
The following is the section regarding the Country Iran:<\/p>\n
Iran:<\/strong><\/p>\nIran 19 executed in one week, including minors. iran the execution and stoning women country. AND Hassan Rohani a big faker and liar person
Iranian authorities heavily suppressed the rights to freedom of expression, association, peaceful assembly and religious belief, arresting and imprisoning peaceful critics and others after grossly unfair trials before Revolutionary Courts.<\/p>\n
Torture and other ill-treatment of detainees remained common and widespread, and were committed with impunity.<\/p>\n
Floggings, amputations and other cruel punishments continued to be applied. Members of religious and ethnic minorities faced discrimination and persecution.<\/p>\n
Women and girls faced pervasive violence and discrimination. The authorities made extensive use of the death penalty, carrying out hundreds of Executions, some in public. At least two juvenile offenders were executed.<\/p>\n
BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/p>\nIranian Revolution’s 38th anniversary, 38 years of media repression<\/p>\n
In March, the UN Human Rights Council renewed the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human rights in Iran. The government continued to deny the Special Rapporteur entry to Iran and to prevent access by other UN Human rights experts.<\/p>\n
The government and the EU discussed initiating a renewed bilateral Human rights dialogue.<\/p>\n
INTERNATIONAL SCRUTINY<\/strong><\/p>\nThe UN Committee on the Rights of the Child conducted its third and fourth periodic review of Iran and criticized continued Executions of juvenile offenders, and the impact of public Executions on the mental health of children who witnessed them. The Committee also criticized continued discrimination against girls; children of religious and ethnic minorities; and the low age at which girls in particular become criminally liable.<\/p>\n
FREEDOMS OF EXPRESSION, ASSOCIATION AND ASSEMBLY<\/strong><\/p>\nThe authorities cracked down further on the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly, arbitrarily arresting and imprisoning peaceful critics on vague national security charges.<\/p>\n
Those targeted included Human rights defenders, journalists, lawyers, bloggers, students, trade union activists, film makers, musicians, poets, women\u2019s rights activists, ethnic and religious minority rights activists, and environmental and anti-death penalty campaigners.<\/p>\n
As the year closed, many prisoners of conscience undertook hunger strikes to protest against their unjust imprisonment, exposing the abusive nature of Iran\u2019s criminal justice system.<\/p>\n
The authorities intensified their repression of Human rights defenders, sentencing them to long prison terms for their peaceful activities.<\/p>\n
Courts increasingly cited criticism of Iran\u2019s Human rights record on social media and communicating with international Human rights mechanisms, particularly the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran and Human rights organizations based abroad including Amnesty International as evidence of \u201ccriminal\u201d activism deemed threatening to national security.<\/p>\n
The Government Of Iran Arrests Nine Christians For Worshipping Christ<\/strong><\/p>\nThe authorities also cracked down on musical expression, disrupting and forcibly cancelling performances, including some licensed by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance; and repressed activities such as private mixed-gender parties that they deemed \u201csocially perverse\u201d or \u201cun-Islamic\u201d, arresting hundreds and sentencing many to flogging.<\/p>\n
The authorities continued to censor all media, jamming foreign satellite TV broadcasts, closing or suspending newspapers including Bahar and Ghanoun and forcing the women\u2019s rights magazine Zanan-e Emrooz to suspend publication.<\/p>\n
In February, a judicial order added WhatsApp, Line and Tango to the list of blocked social media sites, which already included Facebook and Twitter. The Cyber Crime Unit of the Revolutionary Guards blocked or closed down hundreds of Telegram and Instagram accounts and arrested or summoned for interrogation the administrators of more than 450 groups and channels in Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram, including several hundred fashion designers and employees of fashion boutiques, as part of a massive crackdown on social media activities deemed \u201cthreatening to moral security\u201d.<\/p>\n
Here’s how Iran censors the Internet<\/strong>
The suspended Association of Iranian Journalists addressed an open letter to President Rouhani urging him, unsuccessfully, to honor his 2013 election campaign pledge to lift its suspension, while 92 student groups urged the President to release universities from the grip of fear and repression. The authorities did not permit the Teachers\u2019 Trade Association of Iran to renew its license, and sentenced several of its members to long prison terms on charges that included \u201cmembership of an illegal group.\u201d<\/p>\nThe authorities continued to suppress peaceful protests and subject protesters to beatings and arbitrary detention. Numerous individuals remained convicted of \u201cgathering and colluding against national security\u201d for attending peaceful protests.<\/p>\n
A new Law on Political Crimes, which was adopted in January and took effect in June, criminalized all expression deemed to be \u201cagainst the management of the country and its political institutions and domestic and foreign policies\u201d and made \u201cwith intent to reform the affairs of the country without intending to harm the basis of the establishment\u201d.
TORTURE AND OTHER ILL-TREATMENT<\/strong><\/p>\nTorture and other ill-treatment of detainees remained common, especially during interrogation, and was used primarily to force \u201cconfessions\u201d.<\/p>\n
Detainees held by the Ministry of Intelligence and the Revolutionary Guards were routinely subjected to prolonged solitary confinement amounting to torture.<\/p>\n
The authorities systematically failed to investigate allegations of torture and other ill-treatment, sometimes threatening to subject complainants to further torture and harsh sentences.<\/p>\n
Judges continued to admit \u201cconfessions\u201d obtained under torture as evidence against the defendant, although such confessions were inadmissible under the 2015 Code of Criminal Procedure.<\/p>\n
The Code failed to set out the procedure that judges and prosecutors must follow to investigate allegations of torture and ensure that confessions were made voluntarily. Other provisions of the Code, such as the provision guaranteeing the detainee\u2019s right to access a lawyer from the time of arrest and during the investigation stage, were frequently ignored in practice, facilitating torture.<\/p>\n
Judicial authorities, particularly the Office of the Prosecutor, and prison authorities frequently denied access to adequate medical care for political prisoners, including prisoners of conscience. This was often done to punish prisoners or to coerce \u201cconfessions\u201d.<\/p>\n
In June, detainee Nader Dastanpour died in custody as a result of injuries that his family said were inflicted during torture at a Tehran police station. No independent investigation was reported.<\/p>\n
Cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment<\/strong><\/p>\nJudicial authorities continued to impose and carry out cruel, inhuman or degrading punishments that amounted to torture, including floggings, blindings and amputations. These were sometimes carried out in public.<\/p>\n
In April, the Public Prosecutor of Golpayegan, Esfahan Province, announced that a man and woman convicted of \u201chaving an illegitimate relationship\u201d had been sentenced to 100 lashes each.
In May, the Public Prosecutor of Qazvin Province announced that the authorities had arrested 35 young women and men \u201cdancing and mingling at a graduation party\u2026 while half-naked and consuming alcohol\u201d and convicted them within 24 hours of engaging in acts \u201cincompatible with chastity which disturbed the public opinion\u201d.<\/p>\n
The authorities carried out the 99-lash floggings to which they were sentenced at a special court hearing the same day.<\/p>\n
In West Azerbaijan Province, authorities carried out flogging sentences of between 30 and 100 lashes against 17 miners who had engaged in a protest against employment conditions and dismissals at the Agh Darreh gold mine in 2014.<\/p>\n
In June, a criminal court in Yazd Province sentenced nine miners to floggings ranging from 30 to 50 lashes.<\/p>\n
continuing wave of repression and harassment of people in their private and home parties<\/p>\n
In July, an appeal court sentenced journalist and blogger Mohammad Reza Fathi to 459 lashes on charges of \u201cpublishing lies\u201d and \u201ccreating unease in the public mind\u201d through his writings.<\/p>\n
In November, a man was forcibly blinded in both eyes in Tehran, in retribution for blinding a four-year-old girl in June 2009.<\/p>\n
Several other prisoners including Mojtaba Yasaveli and Hossein Zareyian remained at risk of being forcibly blinded.<\/p>\n
Doctors associated with the official Legal Medicine Organization of Iran provided the Supreme Court with \u201cexpert\u201d advice on how the implementation of blinding sentences was medically feasible, an act that breached medical ethics.<\/p>\n
In April, judicial authorities at Mashhad Central Prison amputated four fingers from the right hand and the toes from the left foot of a man convicted of armed robbery.<\/p>\n

The same authorities amputated the fingers of another man convicted of robbery in May.<\/p>\n
In August, a judicial official in Tehran announced that several men had appealed after they were sentenced to amputation of four fingers from one hand.<\/p>\n
In December, judicial authorities at Urumieh Central Prison amputated four fingers from the right hands of two brothers convicted of armed robbery.<\/p>\n
UNFAIR TRIALS<\/strong><\/p>\nTrials, including those resulting in death sentences, were generally unfair. The judiciary was not independent.<\/p>\n
The Special Court for the Clergy and the Revolutionary Courts remained particularly susceptible to pressure from security and intelligence forces to convict defendants and impose harsh sentences.<\/p>\n
Officials exercising judicial powers, including from the Ministry of Intelligence and Revolutionary Guards, consistently flouted due process provisions of the 2015 Code of Criminal Procedure.<\/p>\n
These included provisions protecting the right to access a lawyer from the time of arrest and during investigations and the right to remain silent.<\/p>\n
Defense lawyers were frequently denied full access to case files and prevented from meeting defendants until shortly before trial.
Pre-trial detainees were frequently held in prolonged solitary confinement, with little or no access to their families and lawyers.<\/p>\n
\u201cConfessions\u201d extracted under torture were used as evidence at trial. Judges often failed to deliver reasoned judgments and the judiciary did not make court judgments publicly available.<\/p>\n
Iranian authorities’ arguments in defence of amputation expose outrageous inhumanity<\/p>\n
The Office of the Prosecutor used Article 48 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to prevent detainees accessing lawyers of their own choosing, telling them that they were not on the list of lawyers approved by the Head of the Judiciary, even though no official list had been issued.<\/p>\n
Several foreign nationals and Iranians with dual nationality were detained in Tehran\u2019s Evin Prison with little or no access to their families, lawyers and consular officials.<\/p>\n
These prisoners were sentenced to long prison terms on vague charges such as \u201ccollaborating with a hostile government\u201d after grossly unfair trials before Revolutionary Courts.<\/p>\n
The authorities accused the prisoners of being involved in a foreign-orchestrated \u201cinfiltration project\u201d pursuing the \u201csoft overthrow\u201d of Iran. In reality, the convictions appeared to stem from their peaceful exercise of the rights to freedom of expression and association.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
