Broadcast: The OHCHR’s annual report on Iran was released to the media on Thursday. The Secretary-General distributed the report to UN members on 14 May, and it is due to be presented at the 47th session of the Human Rights Council on 22 June.

The Secretary-General’s report addresses aspects of the mullahs’ crimes, which are of course appalling and will have far-reaching political repercussions. The report expresses grave concern about the “death penalty and arbitrary deprivation of life”; He stressed that the dictatorship in Iran also uses the “death penalty against the (rebel) protesters” and described several specific death sentences for the uprisings in 2017 and 2018, which are “a source of concern to the Secretary-General.”

The report also dealt with the crime of execution of children and the killing of disadvantaged and innocent porters at the hands of the dictatorship, and expresses its concern about these crimes.

The “arrest of protesters in 2019” (the November 2019 uprising) is also included as a paragraph in the Secretary-General’s report, writing about the brutal behavior of the mullahs’ regime: “Prisoners are subjected to torture and inhuman treatment with the aim of extracting forced confession from them.” The report mentioned the names of prisoners, such as “Maryam Akbari Monfared”, a supporter of the People’s Mujahedeen, whose crimes include participating in protests, complaints and investigations into the execution of political prisoners in 1988 (the 1988 massacre), including her brother and sister. As mentioned by the martyr of the uprising, Navid Afkari.

This report represents a severe blow to the inhumane system of Wilayat al-Faqih. Especially in a situation where the mullahs’ regime is under pressure and crisis in other arenas as well.

Including at a meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors, Rafael Grossi presented a report to the International Atomic Energy Agency, in which he expressed his deep concern about the regime’s nuclear program, and says, “We are facing a government that has an ambitious nuclear program that is enriching uranium close to the level of its use in military weapons.” (8 June).

At the same time, the fate of the nuclear talks in the Grand Hotel in Vienna is shrouded in ambiguity, and the positions of the American parties disappointed Khamenei and Rouhani. “I expect that even as the Iranian regime returns to obedience, hundreds of sanctions will remain, including those imposed by the Trump administration” (June 8), Blinken says.

International pressure on the corrupt religious dictatorship has reached such an extent that Rouhani, who recently claimed all sanctions had been lifted, attacked the rival clique and recalled Khamenei’s brutal attack on the Saudi Consulate in Mashhad, complaining in a tone not without rage, saying, “God does not forgive them, nor forgive those who did not They allow us to improve our relations with our neighbours. They have done childish and stupid acts and attacked diplomatic posts!” (10 June).

Now, at the same time that the regime is under enormous pressure, the Secretary-General’s report is being published, serving as a sledgehammer for human rights to fall on the regime’s head. Especially since the introduction of human rights means shooting at the heart of the demonic mandate of a regime that can only use repression, torture and execution as a mechanism for the survival of its regime. Thus, the Secretary-General’s report is a severe blow to Khamenei and the regime. At a time when the Iranian Resistance, with its movement demanding the prosecution of those responsible for the massacres and killings, and its wide-ranging political and social revelations, put the mullahs’ regime under double pressure.
