On the first anniversary of the Iranian protests that broke out in November last year, Iranian government officials have yet to provide an official and accurate report on the number of victims and detainees in popular protests in the country, and the Iranian judiciary. it is still investigating the cases of protesters arrested during the November protests and issuing verdicts. Death and imprisonment against them.
On November 15, 2019, Iranians took to the streets of more than 200 cities across Iran to protest 4 decades of mismanagement by a corrupt regime that squandered the wealth of its people on terrorism abroad and repression in the country.
According to a report issued by the US Embassy in Georgia, the “terrorist” regime is ignoring its laws and its international obligations towards the rights of the Iranian people.
The regime expressed its radical ideology of indiscriminate violence and terror, in response to the exercise of freedom of expression by protesters, according to the report.
The report indicated that the regime killed up to 1,500 people, including at least 23 children, while thousands of protesters were still in prisons, where they were subjected to whipping, electric shocks, starvation, beatings, sexual assault, rape and other brutal torture. .
The Iranian regime has tried to conceal evidence of its brutal repression through censorship, intimidation and shutting down the Internet, and still refuses to allow independent investigations into the killings it committed during that fateful week that followed the popular demonstrations.
The report emphasized that the United States continues to promote accountability by announcing more measures against the repressive regime later this week to achieve a measure of justice for the Iranian people.
The report, published on the sidelines of the first anniversary of the popular demonstrations, urged all governments to join the Iranian regime’s call for the immediate release of all political detainees and prisoners of conscience in the country.
The massive demonstrations last year came to express the deterioration of living conditions in the country, which is suffering a serious economic crisis, amid severe US sanctions.
The government’s decision to raise fuel prices was the spark for the outbreak of these demonstrations, which began in the capital, Tehran, and spread to other Iranian cities.
