Article 12 of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders states that, ‘Everyone has the right - to participate in peaceful activities against violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms.’
Iran is among the Declaration’s signatories but its authorities do not appear to be following its basic tenets. Key government authorities have refused to accept the charges of human rights violations leveled against the country. In a new strategy, they have responded by firing accusations back at the West.”
