Sato report on the consequences of war and repression in Iran; the Czech representative's reference to the threat against Radio Farda.
May Sato, the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran's human rights affairs, and that organization's independent fact-checking panel warned at the UN General Assembly that war and internal repression have worsened the human rights situation in Iran.
The fact-finding commission also announced that the repression of the protest in January 1404 by the Salami Republic included actions that were examples of "crimes against humanity."
During this meeting, the representative of the Czech Republic, referring to the recent threats against Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberation and Radio Morrow in Prague, referred to these actions as an example of the pressure of the government of the Islamic Republic on independent media and journalists even outside the borders of Iran.
The meeting of the third committee of the United Nations General Assembly was held on Wednesday, November 6, in the presence of May Sato, representative of the International Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, and the representatives of the member states. In his remarks, Mai Sato said that what he presents in his new report was unprecedented in his two years as a special correspondent: people who, at the same time as foreign military attacks, also faced threats, detention, torture, enforced disappearance and execution by their own government.
He emphasized that "external attack and internal oppression" not only replaced each other, but escalated each other's consequences.
According to the special reporter, the authorities of the Salami Republic used the war and sanctions as a cover for repression and presented the protesters as agents of foreign powers.
Sato also said that the foreign parties involved in the war, namely the United States and the captives of Israel, also cite internal oppression in Iran to justify their actions; While the people of Iran suffered the consequences of both.
