The names of the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in suppressing protests in Iran are clear to the Truth Finding Committee.
Sara Hossain, the head of the Truth Finding Committee of the UN Human Rights Council, in an interview with the French weekly Le Point, detailed the report of the 580-page committee on the suppression of protests in Iran. This report was prepared by examining over 27,000 documents and conducting 133 interviews with witnesses and victims of these events.
The Truth Finding Committee was formed in November 2022 following the votes of 47 member countries of the UN Human Rights Council to investigate allegations of human rights violations during the suppression of popular protests in Iran that year. It spent a year and a half collecting evidence and documents on the actions of the Iranian government in suppressing protesters and the deaths of at least 551 people, including 49 women and 68 children during this crackdown.
Iran opposed the formation of this committee from the beginning and did not allow its members, including Sara Hossain, a lawyer from Bangladesh, Shahin Sardar Ali, a Pakistani legal expert, Vivianna Krsticevic, an Argentine lawyer, and the executive director of the Center for Justice and International Law in the United States, to travel to Iran.
