Iranian authorities have unleashed an unprecedented deadly crackdown to crush mostly peaceful protests demanding the fall of the Islamic Republic system. Security forces have used unlawful lethal force leading to mass killings and horrific injuries. Since 8 January, authorities have cut all internet access to conceal their crimes.
UN member states must take urgent diplomatic action to protect protesters from further massacres and confront the systemic impunity that is driving the bloodshed. This includes convening special sessions at the UN Human Rights Council and the UN Security Council to deter further massacres and pursue international criminal justice, including referring Iran to the International Criminal Court.
What can you do to help?
Sign the petition to call on UN member states to pressure the Iranian authorities to immediately stop the protest bloodshed in Iran and hold Iranian authorities to account.
