Human Rights Watch warned about the crackdown on protesters in Sanandaj
In a report, Human Rights Watch announced that in Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan Province in Iran, the security forces of the Islamic Republic used excessive and unlawful deadly force against protesters during the months of October and November.
This human rights organization wrote on Wednesday, December 21, 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 that since September, Iranian authorities have launched alarming violence against protesters in Sanandaj.
