A group of victims of the Iranian government crackdown during the Women, Life, Freedom protests in 2022 have filed the first criminal complaint against 40 named Iranian officials alleging crimes against humanity, including targeted blinding and murder.
The request for a criminal investigation to be launched has been filed in Argentina by a group of Iranians with the help of the non-profit Iran Human Rights Documentation Center.
The filing claims the response from Iran’s security forces to the protests in Iran included “shooting live ammunition … metal pellets not intended to be shot at close range, and other projectiles at protesters. They also carried out mass arrests, arbitrary detentions, custodial torture, and ultimately even executions of protesters that continue to the present day.”
Specific officers across the range of Iran’s security services have been named in the filing, but their names are being kept confidential.
