The United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Antonio Guterres submitted a report to the General Assembly today on the situation of Human rights in Iran. The UNSG also referred to the 1988 massacre<\/a> of political prisoners in Iran.\u00a0\u00a0The report contains information on the patterns and trends with regard to the situation of human rights in Iran under the mullahs\u2019 regime.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome political prisoners have been in prison for years without a single day of furlough. Maryam Akbari Monfared<\/a>, sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for participating in protests in 2009, has remained imprisoned for the past 12 years. Harassment against her increased after she filed a formal complaint, seeking an official investigation into the executions of political prisoners, including her siblings, in 1988,\u201d the report reads, raising concern about the situation of Maryam Akbari Monfared, who has called for justice for her loved-ones executed during the 1988 massacre<\/a>. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In another part of his report, The UNSG refers to a mass grave in Khavaran, where thousands of the 1988 victims are buried. The reports condemn the regime\u2019s attempt to destroy this mass grave.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cImpunity also prevails in relation to past violations. In April 2021, the authorities issued an order denying members of the Baha\u2019i community the right to bury their deceased in their dedicated space in Golestan cemetery, forcing them instead to use space between existing graves or at the\u00a0Khavaran\u00a0mass grave site, 54 which is believed to contain victims of enforced disappearances and summary executions in the summer of 1988,\u201d the report reads.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
