The United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Iran, Ahmed Shaheed, said on Wednesday that the human rights situation in Iran remains disturbing. He called on the authorities in Tehran to allow the UN to help change the situation in the country.
According to Shaheed, the rate of executions in Iran is very high and the number of journalists imprisoned is one of the highest in the world. His report on the matter was submitted to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.
