During the meeting in Geneva, representatives from the European Union and several countries strongly condemned the Iranian regime\u2019s increasing repression, mass executions, and systematic discrimination against women and minorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eeas.europa.eu\/delegations\/un-geneva\/eu-statement-hrc58-interactive-dialogue-special-rapporteur-human-rights-and-independent-and_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its official statement<\/a>, the <strong>European Union (EU)<\/strong> emphasized the severity of the situation, stating that reports presented to the UNHRC demonstrate \u201cwidespread and structural human rights violations\u201d in Iran. The EU highlighted ongoing repression against women and girls, arbitrary arrests, and the use of torture and inhumane treatment in detention centers. \u201cThe use of capital punishment as a response to domestic dissent, including against persons belonging to ethnic and religious minorities, is unacceptable,\u201d the statement read. The EU also urged the clerical regime in Iran to impose an immediate moratorium on executions and ultimately abolish the death penalty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>United Kingdom<\/strong> echoed these concerns, calling the human rights situation in Iran \u201cappalling,\u201d with executions reaching a crisis level. British representatives pointed out the alarming rise in executions of women, many of whom were sentenced to death following unfair trials. They further criticized the Iranian regime\u2019s continued enforcement of mandatory hijab laws, calling for their repeal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sara Hossain, Chair of the UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, briefed the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@UN<\/a> Human Rights Council on human rights violations in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> following the 2022 protests sparked by the unlawful death of Jina Mahsa\u00a0Amini.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HRC58?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HRC58<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bGZ3PdG1Q2\">pic.twitter.com\/bGZ3PdG1Q2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; UN Human Rights Council (@UN_HRC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UN_HRC\/status\/1901943017268727819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 18, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Italian<\/strong> delegation expressed deep concern over the Iranian regime\u2019s ongoing repression, particularly its arbitrary arrests, torture, and crackdowns on dissent.
