UN rapporteur warns of due process violations in Iran after Israeli strikes

The UN Special Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in Iran has accused the Islamic Republic of carrying out arbitrary arrests, executions, and secretive prisoner transfers since Israeli attacks, warning that due process is being violated.

“I am also concerned about reports of arbitrary arrests and executions of activists, journalists, social media users, and Afghan nationals, and the holding of hasty and improper trials that violate the principles of fair trial since the beginning of the Israeli attacks,” Mai Sato said on Wednesday in a post on X.

These issues were raised in a joint statement with the UN Fact-Finding Mission, according to Sato.
