Nada Al-Nashif, UN Deputy Human Rights Chief, presented a report to the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday saying that the situation in the Islamic Republic aggravated against the backdrop of continuously worsening socio-economic conditions and sanctions. The report examines developments since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini on September 16which sparked widespread protests throughout the country. According to the report, there has been a spike in death sentences and executions during the period. While the UN voices concern for human rights in Iran, it has appointed Iran’s UN ambassador Ali Bahraini to the chair of the UN Human Rights Council 2023 Social Forum, drawing global outrage. Around 20,000 people are estimated to have been detained during the protests, added the report.

Warns? It’s been going on for decades.
Executions increased 75% from 2021 to 2022. With the recent protests it has gotten markedly worse.
