across the country since a 22-year-old woman from the country’s Kurdish region, Mahsa Amini, died in police custody in September. Amini was arrested for allegedly failing to comply with Iran’s strict dress codes that require women to fully cover their hair and their bodies.
The U.S. also supports establishing a special U.N. commission to investigate Iran’s treatment of peaceful protesters and to hold responsible Iranian officials accountable, Thomas-Greenfield told reporters later. Human rights groups have made similar allegations and issued detailed accounts of the crackdown. Two rights groups, Norway-based group Iran Human Rights and the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, said last week that more than 250 protesters have been killed since the protests began. The death toll includes more than 20 protesters under the age of 18, according to Amnesty International.
“The enemy started a hybrid war. The U.S., Israel, some sly, vicious European powers, & certain groups used whatever they had to do this,” he tweeted. Iravani said it was “ironic” that the U.S. was criticizing Iran’s human rights record because he said Washington had inflicted suffering on Iranians through “decadeslong brutal sanctions.”
At the meeting, which included U.N. Security Council members and other states, envoys from the U.K., Ireland, Norway and other countries joined the U.S. and Albania in condemning Iran’s treatment of women and its response to recent protests. Before the meeting, Canada and New Zealand called for Iran’s expulsion from the U.N. commission.
