The United States to put United Nations focus on Iran protests

 


The United States will next week put the United Nations spotlight on the Islamic Republic of Iran protests, sparked by the death of a 22-year-old Iranian-Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, in police custody.

According to a note outlining the event and reported by Reuters, the US and Albania will hold an informal U.N. Security Council gathering on Wednesday. Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi and Iranian-born actress and activist Nazanin Boniadi will brief about the Iranian government's human rights violations and abuses. According to Reuters, independent U.N. investigator on human rights in Iran, Javaid Rehman, will also attend the meeting to promote independent investigations into Iranian human rights abuses.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been gripped by protests since the death of Amini. The biggest protest in almost three years has turned into a popular revolt by Iranians against the clerical leadership.

Many people took to the streets, demanding justice for Amini. Women chopped off their hair on the streets. Many people burned posters of the Supreme Leader of Iran. School and college students also participated in the protest. Protesters blamed Iranian morality police and security forces over the death of Amini. Rights groups have said at least 250 protesters have been killed during the protests.

Witnesses claimed that Iranian morality police forcefully took Amini into a van. Witnesses also said that morality police hit her at the detention centre, which led to her death. Amini’s cousin said that Iranian morality police hit Amini violently with a baton because she wore a loose hijab. Amini’s family also said that the Iranian morality police were responsible for Amini’s death. However, Iranian authorities denied all the allegations. They said that Amini died due to health issues. Iran also blamed its enemies for the unrest. Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York accused the United States of inciting riots in the country.

It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment.
