This event was attended by the representatives of dozen United Nations members states.<\/p>\n<p>In his latest report, Mr. Rehman <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/FR\/NewsEvents\/Pages\/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=26420&amp;LangID=E\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">expressed<\/a> concern over the ongoing human rights violations in Iran. He particularly expressed his concerns over the regime\u2019s use of violence against detained protesters of the major Iran protests in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tQACfCy_X8Q?list=PL-I2iQQcsqbtrEcaEuiN6l3GOV_u86JQf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 2018<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 2019<\/a>. Rehman condemned the recent execution of Iran\u2019s wrestling champion, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/breaking-news-the-clerical-regime-in-iran-hanged-the-wrestler-navid-afkari\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Navid Afkari<\/a>, who was arrested during the popular uprising in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Government and judiciary appear to be implementing death sentences against protesters to prevent peaceful dissent and restrict civic space. The recent arbitrary execution of Navid Afkari for his participation in August 2018 protests is emblematic of this concern,\u201d said Rehman.<\/p>\n<p>Courtney Nemroff, the United States representative to the United Nations Economic and Social Council on Monday condemned the ongoing human rights violations in Iran and called for independent investigations into the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/20932-the-1988-massacre-in-iran\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1988 massacre<\/a> and the killing of over <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/27081-over-1-500-killed-in-the-iranian-people-s-nationwide-uprising-names-of-504-martyrs-released\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1500 protesters<\/a> during major Iran protests in 2019.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Iranian regime routinely executes political prisoners, often following unfair trials &amp; forced confessions. Just like Ayatollah Khomeini\u2019s \u201cDeath Commissions\u201d in 1988, there are no transparent investigations into the regime\u2019s killings. History should not keep repeating itself.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (@StateDRL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StateDRL\/status\/1320841611291566082?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 26, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States is concerned that the Government of Iran continues to deny you access. We call on Iran to immediately allow a country visit.

The most vicious recent example is the execution of wrestler Navid Afkari on September 12,\u201d Ambassador Nemroff said.<\/p>\n<p>A key issue the U.S. envoy referred to was how the regime uses its impunity, a byproduct of the international community\u2019s inaction, to continue human rights violations in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the international community\u2019s failure to hold the Iranian regime to account for its massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in the summer of 1988 has encouraged the regime to use oppression as a means of holding its grip on power. Most of the victims of that crime against humanity were members and supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Based on a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/anniversary-of-khomeini-s-fatwa-which-led-to-1988-massacre-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fatwa<\/a> by the regime\u2019s founder Ruhollah Khomeini, the so-called \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/iran1988.org\/perpetrators\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Death Commissions<\/a>,\u201d in mock trials, sent thousands of prisoners to the gallows in 1988. The perpetrators of this massacre, including the mullahs\u2019 current Chief Justice, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/iran-who-is-ebrahim-raisi\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, hold top positions. The current status of these criminals and the regime\u2019s ongoing human rights violations show the mullahs have never changed the course regarding people\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is part of a pattern of impunity that extends back 41 years. An independent and transparent investigation is needed into the 1988 \u2018Death Commissions.\u2019 We call on the international community to carry out an independent investigation, including the alleged involvement of the current head of the judiciary and Minister of Justice,\u201d the U.S. envoy said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>In 1988, the Iranian Resistance repeatedly urged the international community to stop the ongoing massacre inside Iran prisons. In 2016, the Iranian opposition president <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/maryam-rajavi\/14237-maryam-rajavi\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a> initiated the \u201cJustice Movement for the Victims of the 1988 Massacre.\u201d This movement has received extensive international attention.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the regime has tried to eliminate the evidence by destroying the mass graves of the 1988 massacre. Giving this further regime time will certainly deprive the victims and their family members of justice.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to hold this regime to account for its major crime in 1988 will encourage the authorities to further pursue human rights violations and brutalize Iranian citizens with greater impunity. Particularly Mr. Rehman, as the special rapporteur for Iran, has the duty to investigate the 1988 massacre and the human rights violations in Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations Third Committee Interactive Dialogue on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran was held on October 26, reviewing the new report of Javaid Rehman, the Special Rapporteur [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":228658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,75,15],"tags":[129,141,142,197],"class_list":{"0":"post-228655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-stop-executions-in-iran","9":"category-human-rights","10":"tag-iran","11":"tag-human-rights","12":"tag-1988-massacre","13":"tag-mek-iran"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
