“Despite killing of women and children, people’s resistance continues”

The letter sent by Narges Mohammadi on November 23 was shared on social media platforms. The letter said:

“Iran's authoritarian theocracy has prevented people from achieving their rights, including democracy and freedom, and a normal relationship with the world. Brave and innocent young people are killed every day in the streets. They have gone from killing women to killing children, but people's resistance continues.”

In the letter, Narges Mohammadi asked the council to document the repression and killing of the Islamic republic and requested permanent supervision of the UNHRC on the government's behavior to include respect for human rights in relations of the government.
