Report Submitted by Justice for Iran - JFI
Excerpt: "5. JFI is also concerned with Iran’s lack of progress in implementing the recommendations that it accepted to investigate, prosecute and punish allegations of torture and other ill-treatment, and to establish effective complaint mechanisms and reparation programs for victims of these violations. Since the last UPR of Iran in 2010, the organization has produced two extensive reports on credible patterns of torture and other ill treatment, including rape and sexual abuse that women prisoners of conscience have suffered at the hands of security forces and prison authorities.1 Investigations are yet to take place into these allegations of sexual abuse and torture, while perpetrators remain in influential positions of power. There remains a persistent culture of impunity, leading to continued intimidation and abuse against those struggling for truth and justice."
