Murder, rape, torture – UN mission accuses Iran of crimes against humanity | DW News

DISCLAIMER: THIS REPORT CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES

The UN Human Rights Council in Geneva is today wrapping up discussions with a fact-finding mission on Iran's violent repression of protests. The mission says it uncovered murders, torture, and forced disappearances that amount to crimes against humanity.

Investigators focused on Iran's response to mass protests over the death of Jina Mahsa Amini in 2022, who they say died from 'physical violence' while in custody.

Since then, women have continued to speak up. One woman who spoke out against authorities, has fled Iran and is now in Berlin seeking treatment for an eye injury she apparently suffered at the hands of Iranian security forces. She spoke to our reporter, Bamdad Esmaeili.

And for more on this, we talk to DW’s Niloofar Gholami, who is from Iran.
