Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO); 11 August 2025: The American Bar Association issued a statement today urging U.S. and international governments to prevent and stop the ongoing and escalating human rights violations by the Government of Iran, including the use of capital punishment for non-serious crimes, torture, persecution of minorities, gender apartheid, LGBTQI oppression, persecution of civil society activists, suppression of fundamental freedoms, and denial of fair trials.
The ABA called on Iran to end these abuses, comply with international human rights law, and urged the U.S. government to support efforts to address these violations, including through international investigations and by incorporating human rights considerations into diplomatic negotiations.
