Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: The rise in human rights abuses, and disregard for UN resolutions, necessitate referring the regime\u2019s dossier to the Security Council and bringing the regime’s leaders to justice<\/h3>\n

Today, the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly adopted<\/a> with a majority (77 in favor and 28 against) a resolution condemning the clerical regime’s egregious and systematic human rights violations. This is the 71st<\/sup> UN resolution censuring human rights abuses in Iran.<\/p>\n

The resolution \u201ccondemns in the strongest terms the alarming increase in the application of the death penalty,\u201d including \u201cthe continued execution of women, which has reached the highest number of reported executions of women since 2013; the continued imposition of the death penalty\u2026. against minors, and the use of the death penalty\u2026.as a tool of political repression.\u201d The resolution also \u201ccondemns the measures used to repress protests, including the protests in\u2026.2022, notably the use of mass arrests and arbitrary detention\u2026., including the use of force resulting in the death, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment during arrest, physical violence and psychological abuse in detention, including sexual and gender-based violence\u201d to extract forced confessions, and \u201cthe imposition and administration of the death penalty against those connected to the protests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), welcomed the resolution, which, in her words, highlighted a glimpse of the regime’s crimes. She said that the increasing and accelerated trend of human rights violations and the ruling religious fascism’s disregard for UN resolutions amplifies the need to refer the dossier on the clerical regime’s crimes to the United Nations Security Council. Mrs. Rajavi added that in the four months since the new regime president took office, more than 500 prisoners have been executed, reflecting an approximately 80 percent rise in the number of execution relative to the same period during Ebrahim Raisi’s tenure.<\/p>\n
