@mugeonal. Yes, human rights lawyers/defenders, (HRDs), particularly women, are in great danger in #Iran. This year the #DayOfTheEndangeredLawyer lawyers’ NGO coalition focused on Afghanistan—I’m grateful to the UN independent experts for adding their voices. In Nov2022 the #UN Human Rights Council held a special session & voted to create an independent fact finding mission for #Iran. See https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/ffm-iran/index. See work of UN human rights bodies on Iran at https://www.ohchr.org/en/countries/iran.
