This December 10 marks the sixty-seventh anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, amid ongoing criticisms regarding the human rights situation in Iran; the number of executions in Iran is at the forefront of these criticisms, along with the continued detention of journalists in the country. Mahtab Vahidi Rad has prepared a report on this occasion, which we will hear next.
