He reiterates his call for the immediate release of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, including those alluded to in the current and previous reports; requests that the treatment of prisoners meet minimum international and national standards; and that prisoners are granted adequate access to medical care, in accordance with international standards and Iranian law | Not Implemented |

REF0045 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2014 | Echoes the call of the Human Rights Committee to ensure the independence of the judiciary and to investigate all allegations of torture and mistreatment of detainees. | Not Implemented |

| A/69/356 |
REF0077 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2017 | The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to abolish any provision that authorizes any form of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, to address as a matter of priority the state of despair in its prisons and to investigate all allegations of torture and ill-treatment and hold accountable those found guilty. | Not Implemented |
|
| A/72/322 |
REF0079 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Aug 1, 2017 | The Special Rapporteur urges the Government, in line with its international obligations, to immediately release all detainees who have been imprisoned for exercising their right to freedom of opinion, expression and peaceful assembly and to quash the prison sentences that have been handed down against others for similar reasons. State entities that organize crackdowns on peaceful dissent should be identified and held accountable in order to prevent a recurrence of such violations. The Government should also take strict measures to ensure that the security and intelligence apparatus stops using reprisals against the families of those who monitor or campaign against human rights violations or express views that are contrary to government policies. | Not Implemented |

REF0146 | Mar 29, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary executions | Jun 1, 2010 | Only the full respect for stringent due process guarantees distinguishes capital punishment as still allowed under international law from a summary execution, which violates the most fundamental human right. We therefore urge your Excellency's Government to take all necessary measures to guarantee that the rights under international law of Messrs Ali Saedi, Walid Naisi, Majid Fardipour (Majid Mahawi), Doayr Mahawi, Maher Mahawi, Ahmad Saedi, and Yousuf Leftehpour are respected. Considering the irreversible nature of capital punishment, this can only mean suspension of the death sentence against the seven men until the question of whether fair trial guarantees were respected has been clarified and the allegations of torture have been thoroughly investigated and all doubts in this respect dispelled. | Not Implemented |

REF0205 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2015 | 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.

|
| A/HRC/34/65 |
REF0253 | Mar 27, 2021 | Recommendations | Special Rapporteur - Iran | Mar 1, 2017 | 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. | Not Implemented |

| A/HRC/34/65 |
REF0355 | Mar 23, 2021 | Recommendations | Working Group - Arbitrary Detention | Feb 1, 2003 | On the situation of prisoners of conscience: These prisoners are punished twice over. Many of them have, on the one hand, simply peacefully exercised their fundamental right to freedom of opinion and expression and, on the other, have been unable to benefit in most cases from the guarantees which are essential to the right to fair trial, as we have emphasized with regard in particular to the abolition of the prosecution service. Solutions must be sought to bring about their release in the near term. | Not Implemented |

| E/CN.4/2004/3/Add.2 |
REF0358 | Mar 23, 2021 | Recommendations | Working Group - Arbitrary Detention | Feb 1, 2003 | On the practice of "solitary confinement". As this practice generates arbitrary situations, plans should be drawn up for the closure of these prisons, retaining only a few punishment cells in each institution for short disciplinary periods of solitary confinement. In addition, the report of the Article 90 Parliamentary Commission on prisons should be made public or at least debated in Parliament. The Commission would then be responsible for publishing a list of prisons each year. | Not Implemented |

REF0589 | Mar 19, 2021 | Recommendations | Human Rights Committee | Aug 1, 1993 | Effective measures should be adopted to ensure the strictest observance of articles 7 and 10 of the Covenant. All complaints of extrajudicial executions, disappearances, torture and ill-treatment should be duly investigated, the culprits should be punished and measures should be taken to prevent any recurrence of such acts. Severe forms of punishment incompatible with the Covenant should be removed from law and practice and the conditions of detention of persons deprived of their liberty should be improved. The Committee also recommends that training courses should be organized for members of the police, the armed forces and the security forces as well as for other law enforcement officials, so as to better acquaint them with basic human rights principles and norms. | Not Implemented |
|
| CCPR/C/79/Add.25 |
REF0614 | Mar 22, 2021 | Recommendations | Human Rights Committee | Nov 1, 2011 | The State party should ensure that an inquiry is opened in each case of alleged torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment in detention facilities, and that the perpetrators of such acts are prosecuted and punished appropriately.

| CCPR/C/IRN/CO/3 |
REF0616 | Mar 22, 2021 | Recommendations | Human Rights Committee | Nov 1, 2011 | The State party should urgently establish a full, impartial and independent investigation into allegations of killings, torture and other ill-treatment during and following the 12 June 2009 presidential elections, and prosecute those officials found responsible. | Not Implemented |
