Tehran’s representative at the Geneva meeting accused Western states of using the rights council to target Iran
The UN Rights Council voted on Thursday to appoint an independent investigation into Iran’s deadly repression of protests, passing the motion to cheers of activists amid an intensifying crackdown in Kurdish areas over recent days.
The unrest has posed one of the boldest challenges to Iran’s clerical ruling elite since it came to power in the 1979 Islamic revolution, though authorities have crushed previous rounds of major protests. Thursday’s vote had been seen as a test of Western clout in the council with China pushing a last-minute amendment to strip out the investigation but it eventually passed easily.
He did not say whether that figure also included deaths among other security forces such as the Bassij or the Revolutionary Guards. “The judiciary has raised a complaint against me as a representative of the mourning people instead of conserving the legal rights of the protesting people and the families of victims in Mahabad and Kurdish cities,” Jalal Mahmoudzadeh tweeted on Wednesday.
