UN Report Condemns Iran for Crimes Against Humanity in 2022 Protest Crackdown
A United Nations report has accused Iran of committing "crimes against humanity" through its repression of peaceful protests and institutional discrimination against women and girls, citing violations such as extrajudicial killings, torture, and gender persecution. The report highlighted the case of a 22-year-old woman, Jina Mahsa Amini, whose death sparked protests calling for greater rights and freedoms for women. The report also found evidence of security forces using unnecessary and disproportionate force, including the use of rape, to quell protests. The UN urged Iran to stop repressing peaceful protesters and called for accountability and justice for the victims.
