Out Now! Submission to the UN FFMI

22-02-2024

As the 55th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council approaches, Human Rights Activists (HRA) in Iran is publishing the redacted version of a submission filed in December to the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFMI).

Drafted with the legal support of UpRights, the 60-page submission argues that the facts provided to the FFMI by HRA and two trusted partner organizations should lead the FFMI to conclude that crimes against humanity, and in particular persecution on political and gender grounds, have taken place in the Islamic Republic of Iran since at least 16 September 2022.

The redacted version of the submission is presented in five comprehensive parts, first outlining a methodological approach to collecting and verifying information. Then, it contextualises the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests in the wider discriminatory legal framework against women, girls and LGBTQI+ individuals, detailing the facts surrounding the protests, before providing a legal analysis focusing on the crime against humanity of persecution on gender and political grounds. Finally, it presents the FFMI and UN Member States with recommendations in this respect.

To read more on HRA’s work on shedding light on the situation of human rights in Iran ahead of the FFMI’s report – set to be delivered on March 18th – see here
