The UN Security Council on November 2 held an informal meeting on the bloody crackdown by the Islamic Republic of Iran on a wave of protests that has rocked the country for the past six weeks.
The Iranian protesters were represented by Iranian-British actress Nazanin Bonyadi and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi in this meeting .
Bonyadi said that the protesters and the majority of the Iranian people no longer want the Islamic Republic. Ebadi cited examples of gross human rights violations committed by the Iranian regime such as the firing tear gas in hospitals.
Both activists asked the Security Council and members of the international community to intervene and prevent the killing of Iranians.
Ebadi called for establishing an independent mechanism to investigate human rights violations in Iran. “It is unacceptable that a government responsible for such a level of human rights violations runs the country,” she said.
