The Special Rapporteur welcomes the prosecution of Saeed Mortazavi for his role in facilitating illegal detentions, but notes that such investigations and rulings appear to be exceedingly rare, especially when compared with the high volume of similar reports of arbitrary detention, torture and ill-treatment of detainees emanating from the country. He calls on the authorities to prosecute and sentence appropriately all officials found responsible for the torture and ill-treatment of detainees, in line with Iranian and international law. He encourages the Government to address the substandard detention conditions identified previously by the human rights mechanisms and in the present and previous reports of the Special Rapporteuror that may have been identified by its own audit. He implores the Government to ensure adequate access to medical treatment in line with international standards.

The Special Rapporteur welcomes the recent amendments to the Islamic Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code. She, however, regrets that the amendments have not yet translated into better protection from arbitrary arrest and detention, as shown by the number of cases highlighted in the present report. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to adopt all the measures necessary to effectively guarantee the right of anyone to be free from arbitrary deprivation of their liberty. In this respect, she echoes the recommendations made by the previous mandate holder on the necessity to amend the broadly defined criminal offences, to strengthen fair trial safeguards, to investigate all allegations of torture and ill-treatment and to hold accountable those found guilty.
