(Adnkronos) – The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, has called for a “rapid” and “independent” investigation into the deaths that have occurred during the demonstrations that have been shaking Iran for weeks. He stated this in a press release, expressing strong concern about the situation in the country.
“A rapid, independent and transparent investigation must be conducted. Those responsible for violations must be held accountable for their actions in accordance with international rules and norms,” Turk said, urging full accountability for the abuses committed. The High Commissioner also expressed concern about the repeated disruption of internet access, stressing that communication blackouts limit the right to information and hinder the monitoring of the human rights situation.
