3,275 complaints and reports, through the complaint system, in relation with civil rights
violations. Between 2015 and 2018, a number of 28,504 inspections were carried out to
prosecutors' offices, prisons and detention centers.”20 There is no readily available information
about the outcome of such inspections. Additionally, there is no official and available
information as to the number of complaints, their nature and whether they have been adequately
investigated and adjudicated in compliance with international standards. There is no readily
available information that might suggest that custodial staff has been investigated for cases of

The Government, judiciary and the parliament of the Islamic Republic of Iran have not ensured
that all individuals in custody receive adequate, prompt and regular health care, including
specialist care as needed, on the basis of their informed consent.
