Taiwan News

The U.N. General Assembly approved a resolution Monday denouncing serious human rights violations in Iran…The resolution singles out problems facing Arabs, Azeris, Baluchis and Kurds as well as Baha'is, Christians, Jews, Sufis, Sunni Muslims and Zoroastrians…Bani Dugal, the Baha'i International Community's U.N. representative, said approval of the resolution "confirms Iran's unhappy distinction of being one of the foremost violators of human rights in the world today." "It also testifies to the fact it's much more than just a few minorities or dissidents that are living under a state of siege, facing the daily threat of harassment, arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, along with torture and the threat of violence," Dugal said.
