Iran's Disregard of Human Rights Highlighted in Amnesty International Report

London, 23 Feb - Amnesty International has released its annual report entitled “The State of the World’s Human Rights” for 2016/2017. This report is the most detailed analysis of the international human rights situation.

Regarding the situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the report highlighted that the people of Iran are denied the freedom of expression and the right to peacefully protest and the right to religious freedom. Prisoners in Iran are also mistreated and are denied the right to fair trials. Cruel punishments such as flogging and amputation are frequent, and women and minors are discriminated against. Furthermore, executions are carried out on a regular basis, and some are carried out in public.

Should the United States Continue to Impose Sanctions on Iran?

London, 25 Feb - On 19th February, the Defence Minister of Israel said at the Munich Security Conference that Iran was the biggest challenge in the Middle East. Israel is not the only one to say this – Saudi Arabia agreed saying that Iran’s “mischief” has increased since the Iran nuclear deal was signed.

The United States also views Iran as a major cause of disruption in the Middle East and a real international threat. Earlier this month, and after the testing of a missile, the United States declared that Iran was “on notice” and imposed more sanctions on several individuals and entities. Iran’s response to this was to test-fire another one.
