About two weeks have passed since the end of nationwide protests in Iran, but a number of protesters remain in detention. Alireza Avaei, Iran's Minister of Justice, announced that this number is less than 100, but human rights defenders say that since Iranian officials did not initially disclose the exact number of detainees and their names, it is unclear how many are still in custody. In recent days, reports of 'mistreatment and beatings' of detainees have reached Radio Farda, which cannot independently verify them. The UN has requested an investigation into the casualties and the treatment of detainees during the protests, and a resolution on 'human rights violations in Iran' has been passed at the United Nations. The situation in Iran is critical, with concerns about the radicalization of society and the responsibilities of opposition groups amid ongoing unrest.
