The Article 90 Commission of the Parliament investigates complaints from citizens made against the operations of the Parliament itself, the Executive and the Judiciary.7 There is no publicly available information on data relating to the number of complaints received, investigated and adjudicated vis-à-vis cases of arbitrary deprivation of life. The death penalty based on the charge of adultery is in violation of international law. Therefore, the death sentences held against Sareimeh Ebadi and Bu-Ali Janfeshani, if performed, would represent arbitrary deprivation of life. The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran did not respond to the UN Special Procedures regarding the cases of Sareimeh Ebadi and Bu-Ali Janfeshani and there is no readily available information that might indicate that their sentences have been suspended and eventually commuted. Recommendation Status: This recommendation has NOT been implemented. 7 Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, https://iranhrdc.org/internal-regulation-on-the-commission-of-article-90-of-theconstitution/ 2
