crime of torture in itself under Iranian law prevents prosecution, which is limited to cases of torture
provided under the law, and therefore hindering access to justice for victims.
In light of the above, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has not duly investigated
complaints of torture and ill-treatment, and the shortcomings of the Iranian legal framework hinder
accountability for perpetrators. There is no readily available information that might indicate that
the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran took measures to prevent the recurrence of acts of
torture and ill-treatment, apart from the reported inspections and investigations into complaints.
