US State Department: cruelty toward victims’ families goes beyond repression
The treatment of families of people killed in Iran’s protests goes beyond repression, the US Department of State said in a post on its Persian-language page.
Sharing videos from funeral ceremonies, the department wrote that it was cruel not only to silence people speaking out for their rights with lethal force, but also to harass grieving families during burials. Such actions, it added, amounted to a deliberate attack on basic human dignity, warning that the world is watching.
