Iran - Continued deterioration of human rights

Here's something the Democrats tend to overlook.

The past 12 months have seen a continued deterioration in the human rights situation in Iran. There have been repeated serious violations of freedom of expression and association.

Officials who were implicated in internal repression in the1980s and 1990s have been appointed as government ministers. While sporadic efforts have been made by some authorities in Iran to improve the administration of justice, we continue to be concerned at the lack of effective action to reform laws, institutions and official practices.

The future does not look positive.


No, it doesn't.
