NCRI – This evening the UN General Assembly, despite the plots and deals of the religious fascism ruling Iran, passed the resolution of condemning brutal human rights violations in Iran. This resolution, which is the 54th of such resolutions by various UN bodies against the human rights violations by the mullahs’ regime, expresses deep concern over "systematic human rights and fundamental freedoms violations in the Islamic Republic of Iran" and asked the UN Secretary General to provide a comprehensive report on the situation of human rights in Iran to the next session of UN General Assembly.
The resolution condemns "inhuman punishments and torture such as flogging and amputation" , "public executions", "use of stoning as a method of execution", "execution of those who were under 18 when they committed the crime", "arrest and suppression of women who want their rightful rights", "continued discrimination and rights abuses against religious, ethnic and other minorities", "serious and constant limitations on freedom of thought and speech, peaceful gatherings and increased persecution of human rights defenders".
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, congratulated the adoption of this resolution to the Iranian people and all human rights defenders across the world and stressed that this medieval regime does not deserve to live among the community of nations and must be isolated by the international community. She called for referral of the regime’s human rights dossier to the UN Security Council for binding measures.
Mrs. Rajavi added that ignoring the medieval crimes of this regime and continuation of deals with it, not only is an obvious grimace to the universal principles of human rights, it also emboldens the regime to continue and to intensify human rights abuses.
