SUBMISSION BY AMNESTY TO UN CSW 57 ON HARASSMENT & IMPRISONMENT OF WOMEN +

This submission to the Commission on the Status of Women (the Commission) 57 - 2013 - is intended to draw the Commission’s attention to the continuing pattern of human rights violations experienced by women in Iran in reprisal for their peaceful human rights or political activities on account of their ethnic origin, their faith, the peaceful exercise of their rights to freedom of expression and association, or their relationship to men who have expressed views dissenting from those considered acceptable by the Iranian authorities.
