Larijani sanctions violation of human rights in Iran

“Unfortunately now a days westerners use human rights in their publicity and media as a tool against the countries which are not aligned with their policies,” stated Ayatollah Amoli Larijani among the members of the Judiciary’s human rights headquarter.
Pointing to the declaration of human rights, Larijani indicated that the great challenge of the declaration is its superficial interpretation of ‘human dignity’ which shows philosophical and theoretical incoherence in western concept of human rights and added: “Under the name of human rights, westerners are imposing serious cruelty and injustice on many nations but they mirror untrue facts in their reports on human rights. The western countries protest against our measures regarding dangerous and armed villains while they cannot tolerate such criminals themselves.” (Mehr news agency 23 July 2013)

He is reportedly being held in a Ministry of Intelligence detention centre, placing him at risk of torture or other ill-treatment. Behrouz Ghobadi, father of a newborn baby boy and a member of the Kurdish minority in Iran , was arrested in the early hours of the morning of 4 November. He was in a taxi driving from Sanandaj, the capital of the north-western Kordestan province, to a Tehran airport.

March 2012 Book of Women's Rights violations by Clerics in Iran- NCRI publication

A publication of the Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran


From the report of the Special Rapporteur, Ahmed Shaheed,on the situation of women’s rights violations:
Sixty-sixth session
Agenda item 69 (c)
Promotion and protection of human rights: human rights situations and reports of special rapporteurs and representatives
A/66/374

C. Women‟s rights

54. Moreover, the application of certain laws that erect barriers to gender equality undermine the Government‟s ability to equally protect those human rights stipulated in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights for all its citizens. For example, a woman‟s worth and testimony in a court of law are regarded as half that of a man‟s. Men have absolute rights to divorce, while women may initiate divorce
only if they meet certain conditions, some of which must be agreed to in a marriage contract. Mothers can never be awarded guardianship rights for their children, even upon the death of their husbands. Women do not have equitable inheritance rights, and even when a wife is the sole survivor to her husband‟s estate, she may not inherit more than a quarter of the estate. If she is not the sole survivor, she is limited to an eighth.
56. Moreover, strict implementation of the morality code concerning dress and attempts to criminalize improper veils have limited women‟s participation in public and social arenas. Equally worrisome are statements made by authorities that blame victims for inducing attackers to violate their physical integrity. These include reports of Government officials citing women‟s dress as the cause of recent attacks that took place in Isfahan in June 2011, where 14 women were kidnapped and gangraped while attending a private party. Government statements asserted that the women‟s dress was a source of the violence perpetrated against them and a rationale for the lack of action in bringing the perpetrators to justice
