Repression and human rights violations in Iran continue day after day.

We need to call upon Council members to address the ongoing human rights violations against Iranians concerning their right to life and freedom of expression and assembly. We must urge Council members to examine closely the violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrations throughout Iran.

They need to take action to protect the rights of individuals and groups in Iran to peacefully exercise their rights to freedom of expression, association, and assembly, including participation in activities, which dissent from state policies and practices.

The Human Rights Council as the principal human rights organ of the United Nations, needs to take urgent measures by convening a special session to address the current situation in Iran.

Urge the Human Rights Council to immediately call upon the Iranian authorities to receive a joint mission of Special Procedures mandate-holders on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary execution and other relevant mandates such as the Special Rapporteur on Torture, the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Opinion and Expression and the Special Representative of Secretary-General on Human Rights Defenders.
