♦️ Volker Turk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, expressed "horror" on Tuesday, January 13, at the escalation of violence against protesters in Iran, calling for an immediate halt to the crackdowns and the restoration of internet access.

In an official statement, Turk condemned labeling protesters as "terrorists" to justify violence and emphasized that the demands of the Iranian people for justice and equality must be heard. He warned of the possibility of immediate death sentences for detainees, referencing horrifying reports from hospitals filled with the injured.

Meanwhile, the Iran Human Rights Organization (IHR) announced that it has confirmed the deaths of at least 648 people, including 9 children; however, due to widespread internet outages, it is estimated that the actual number could exceed 6,000.

Donald Trump has threatened military intervention and announced a 25% tariff on trade with any country that collaborates with the Islamic Republic. The UN stressed that all cases of human rights violations must be investigated according to international standards and that the perpetrators should be punished.
