Families of victims killed in Iran protests pressured to settle for money
A London-based Human Rights Organization says Iranian authorities have pressured the families of those killed in Iran protests in November 2019 to settle for proposals of money and “martyrdom”.
Six months after at least 1,500 Iranian protesters and civilians were killed in Iran protests during November 2019, the Iranian regime has not yet initiated any judicial investigations to prosecute those involved in the unlawful killings.
Instead of being provided answers, the victims’ families have had to settle for proposals of money and ‘martyrdom’.
Published on May 16, Justice for Iran’s report “Mockery of Justice: State’s Policies and Laws Regarding the Victims of Iran’s 2019 November Protests,” confirms that the Iranian authorities refused to undertake judicial investigations or criminal proceedings on the deaths of protesters who took to the streets after a sudden rise in the price of fuel on November 15, 2019.
