Activists Call on UNGA Attendees to Hold Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani Accountable

CHRI – With President Hassan Rouhani in New York attending the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly, the Center for Human Rights in Iran has urged UNGA attendees to directly address the worsening human rights situation in Iran.

Diplomats should raise the issue of the arrests of peaceful activists, lawyers and others with Rouhani and the international media should hold Iranian officials accountable in interviews and press conferences by directly questioning them on the deteriorating rights situation in Iran.
