Chrystia Freeland, Melanie Joly among signatories to letter on Iranian women's rights
Summary by Ground News
The letter condemns Iran's violent crackdown on recent protests and calls for the country to be removed from the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Iran began a four-year term on the UN's status-of-women commission earlier this year. The letter says Iran should have been disqualified for its long-standing, systemic oppression of women.
