ai generated text
The United Nations Human Rights Council established a fact-finding mission (FFM) in November 2022, following widespread demonstrations in Iran triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini. The protests, which began in response to Mahsa's death in custody, expanded into weeks of taboo-breaking protests. According to multiple reports, Tehran's violent crackdown on these peaceful protests and discrimination against women and girls led to serious human rights violations. The UN FFM concluded that the regime carried out widespread and sustained human rights abuses during this time.
