Iran violations may amount to crimes against humanity - UN expert

UN-Appointed expert Javaid Rehman told the Human Rights Council that Iranian authorities committed violations that may amount to crimes against humanity, including murder, imprisonment, enforced disappearances, torture, rape, and persecution.
The protests began last year after the death of a young Iranian Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, in custody. Iranian officials denied any wrongdoing or misconduct on their part and presented the results of investigations that were neither credible nor transparent.
