Ahmad Shahid, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, presented his oral report on the human rights situation in Iran to the 31st official session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday. In his report, Mr. Shahid expressed concern over the high number of executions, especially for those convicted under the legal age, while also noting positive changes resulting from the approval of certain laws in Iran. Hassan Naib Hashem, a human rights activist who attended the UN Human Rights Council session, stated in an interview with Radio Farda that 'Mr. Ahmad Shahid's oral report contained the same content as the published written report, and the Iranian delegation present at this session had the opportunity to express the Islamic Republic's views.'
