Yesterday the UNGA Third Committee adopted a resolution on the human rights situation in Iran which, for the first time, references the #1988Massacre, the first official acknowledgement by the global community of those crimes against humanity. It's time to end impunity in Iran.
🚨 The UN General Assembly Third Committee has just adopted resolution A/C.3/80/L.30, for the first time recognising the #1988Massacre of political prisoners in Iran It's time for governments around the world to hold the perpetrators of those crimes against humanity accountable.

به همراه سایر کارشناسان سازمان ملل تخریب قطعهٔ ۴۱ بهشتزهرا در تهران را محکوم کردیم. در اوت ۲۰۲۵ (مرداد ۱۴۰۴) ، گزارش شد که مقامات این بخش را تخریب کردهاند و قصد دارند آن را به پارکینگ تبدیل کنند؛ با این توجیه که این قطعه «رها شده» است، ادعایی که خانوادهها بهشدت آن را رد می

On #WorldDayAgainstDeathPenalty, we remember Iran’s political prisoners on death row. On 7 July 2025, IRGC-linked Fars News called for a repeat of the #1988Massacre—an incitement to atrocity crimes. UN Member States must speak out. Silence fuels impunity. CC: @BobRae48 @USAmbUN

El Tribunal Supremo de Irán acaba de confirmar la sentencia de muerte de Ehsan Faridi. Estudiante de 22 años de la Universidad de Tabriz, fue condenado bajo el falso cargo de “corrupción en la Tierra” por apoyar a la oposición democrática. Por favor, sé su voz.
