Today marks the 60th day of continuous protests against the Iranian regime over the death of the 22-year-old woman Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the regime’s brutal morality police for not properly wearing a head covering.
The regime’s intense crackdown has killed at least 326 people, including 43 children, according to the Norway-based group Iran Human Rights.
After two months of alleged U.N. bureaucratic inertia, the body’s Human Rights Council is now being forced to respond to the bloodbath in Iran. The head of U.N. Watch, Hillel Neuer, wrote on Twitter: "For the first time in history the United Nations Human Rights Council will hold an emergency session on Iran. We are demanding the creation of an international Commission of Inquiry, a formal call to expel the Islamic Republic from the UN’s top women’s rights body."
The widespread security apparatus of Iran has arrested more than 14,000 people during the upheaval against the ayatollahs who run the country.
Demonstrations and work stoppages unfolded over the last few days in several Iranian cities to remember the "Bloody Friday" massacre of almost 100 people in the southeastern city of Zahedan in response to the alleged murder of Amini and a reported rape of a 15-year-old girl by a police official.
