Post-election Iran violations some of the worst in 20 years

Author: Amnesty International
Published: December 10, 2009
Type: Report

During the widespread unrest that followed the contested election result in June 2009, thousands of people were arbitrarily arrested, dozens were killed on the streets or died in detention, and many said they were tortured or otherwise ill-treated. This report includes cases and moving testimonies of individuals whose rights were abused. It shows that the willingness of the authorities to resort to violence and arbitrary measures to stifle protest and dissent has continued long after the post-election protests subsided.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL REPORT ABOUT IRAN

Author: Amnesty International
Published: May 2006
Type: Report

Scores of political prisoners, including prisoners of conscience, continued to serve prison sentences imposed following unfair trials in previous years. Hundreds more were arrested in 2005, mostly in connection with civil unrest in areas with large minority populations. Internet journalists and human rights defenders were among those detained arbitrarily without access to family or legal representation, often initially in secret detention centres. Intimidation of the families of those arrested persisted. Torture remained commonplace. At least 94 people were executed, including at least eight who were under 18 at the time of their alleged offence. Many sentences of flogging were imposed. The true number of those executed or subjected to corporal punishment was believed to be considerably higher than the cases reported.

Type: Report

The present report covers the human rights situation in Iran from January to December 2004. Scores of political prisoners, including prisoners of conscience, continued to serve prison sentences imposed following unfair trials in previous years. Scores more were arrested in 2004, many in connection with press articles or publications both in print and on the Internet which were alleged to "endanger national security" or defame senior officials or religious precepts. Many of the families of those arrested also faced intimidation. Independent human rights defenders were harassed. At least two individuals died in custody and 159 people were executed, including one minor. At least two of the 36 people who were flogged reportedly died following the implementation of the punishment; no investigations were carried out into these deaths. The true number of those executed or subjected to corporal punishment was believed to be considerably higher.

Law And Human Rights in The Islamic Republic of Iran

Author: Amnesty Internationalَ
Published: February 1, 1980
Type: Report

The Amnesty International report published in February 1980 is an important document covering the situation of human rights during the emergence of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This was the only time since the Islamic Revolution that Amnesty International was allowed to send a mission to Iran. It worked in Tehran from 12 April to 1 May 1979, during which time it held discussions with ministers of the Provisional Government, personnel of a local Tehran Komiteh, members of the former secular opposition to the Shah, and others. Amnesty International then conducted the study upon which this report is based. It covers the period from February 11th to September 14th, 1979. For this electronic version of the report, the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation has remained faithful to the original document. However, it has transformed the chapter notes into endnotes for the whole document. The original pages are indicated manually.

On account of its wealth of historic information and careful legal analysis, this report makes for an invaluable resource for the study of the early days of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation is pleased to make this crucial report electronically available to the public.
