In the past week, a critical resolution regarding the human rights situation in Iran was approved by the United Nations General Assembly with the support of 81 countries. The number of executions in Iran remains at the forefront of these criticisms. The arrest and conviction of journalists in Iran are also among the issues criticized in the recent UN resolution and in Ban Ki-moon's report, the UN Secretary-General. At the same time, Reporters Without Borders also announced last week in its annual report titled 'Violence Against Journalists in 2015' that Iran is the third largest prison in the world for journalists. Mahtab Vahidi Rad, in this week's Window program, discussed these two topics with experts and human rights activists.
