NCRI – The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay told the U.N.'s Human Rights Council she remains "deeply concerned by the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran."<\/p>\n
Pillay, a former U.N. war crimes judge, said she had talked with Iranian regime's officials about the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran and suggested her office should visit the country. <\/p>\n
"I remain deeply concerned by the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran where there has been a violent crackdown on dissent, including the arbitrary arrest of demonstrators, human rights activists, journalists and prominent political figures. Many have been given harsh sentences, including capital punishment, for their role in post-election protests after questionable trials. I had the opportunity to discuss these issues with the Iranian delegation during the recent UPR, and have suggested that the authorities allow my Office to visit Iran," she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
