Urgent appeal amid deadly crackdown: Iran Human Rights presses UN Security Council to act

François Picard welcomes Norwegian-Iranian neuroscientist Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, Director of Iran Human Rights NGO. He offers a rare quantified data-driven-account of fatalities in the current Iranian uprising, grounded in documented evidence and firsthand reporting. Against a backdrop of an Internet blackout and brutal state repression, Professor Amiry-Moghaddam situates the crisis not only as a statistical tragedy but as a lived reality inside Iran, where digital communication itself carries a heightened lethal risk.
