This video series, draws attention to Iran’s upcoming Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council on October 31, 2104, confronting Iran’s human rights violations through personal accounts. These Iranians ask the UN to keep its promise to the world, and hold Iran accountable.
Nine persecuted Iranians powerfully tell their stories of repression, harassment, detainment and torture in their own words. While these activists, bloggers, lawyers and students put a face to Iran’s human rights abuses, their stories are shared by many Iranians whose rights are violated every day.
Despite the fact that Iran accepted 126 recommendations from UN Human Rights Council member countries at its last UPR in 2010, it has not honored the majority of these commitments, and violations continue to occur.
