Human Rights Watch warned about the suppression of protesters in Sanandaj
In a report, Human Rights Watch announced that in Sanandaj, the capital of Iran’s Kurdistan province, the Islamic Republic’s security forces used excessive and illegal deadly force against protesters during the months of October and November.
On Wednesday, December 21, this human rights organization wrote that the recently established United Nations fact-finding mission on Iran should also investigate these severe violations as part of its broader report on human rights abuses by the Islamic Republic against protesters. Tara Sepehri, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, said Iranian authorities have initiated alarming violence against protesters in Sanandaj since September.
