The President of the United Nations Human Rights Council stated that the refusal of the officials of the Islamic Republic to hand over the bodies of those killed to their families is a violation of human rights.
Officials of the Islamic Republic have repeatedly refused to hand over the bodies of those killed in protests to their families, and in some cases, they have secretly buried these bodies without informing the families.
In some cases, the body of the deceased is held hostage indefinitely until the family remains silent and refrains from protesting.
