ZeinabJalalian, a Kurdish woman imprisoned in Khuy Prison, suffers from serious eye problems and her conditions are reported as critical. The damages inflicted on her eyes has been a result of the torture and blows she has endured from interrogators.

Thesuppressive state security forces in Iran on Saturday shot and killed a young Kurdish man on the outskirts of the town of Marivan, western Iran.

Locals have identified the Kurdish man as 20-year-old Esmaeil Hossein Amini. His body was later transferred to Buali Hospital in Marivan.
Since Hassan Rouhani took office two years ago, there has been a drastic deterioration in the human rights situation in Iran.

Earlier this year a report by the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Ahmad Shaheed noted that during Rouhani's tenure 'the overall situation has worsened' with respect to human rights."

Speech by Alejo Vidal-Quadras in Geneva panel: Human rights in Iran

Alejo Vidal-Quadras in Geneva panel

I am here today, representing the International Committee In Search of Justice (ISJ) which we formed in 2008 when I was vice-president of the European Parliament.


 The mullahs' regime in Iran continues to execute more of its citizens per capita than any other UN member state and is the biggest executioner of juveniles.
Some 2000 people have been executed under President Rouhani in the past two years, more than in any similar period in the past 25 years. A young Kurdish political prisoner, Behrouz Alkhani was executed recently and the dead body of Shahrokh Zamani, another political prisoner was found in his cell last week.

The executions have escalated especially in the month following the nuclear deal with Iran. It seems that the recent nuclear deal and the absence of absolutely any public condemnation of human rights violations by the European governments, have emboldened Iran to move more quickly to try to annihilate its opponents both inside Iran and also those exiled in neighbouring Iraq.
