GENEVA, Switzerland (HRNW) The United Nations Human Rights Council has convened an emergency informative consultation today in Geneva, preparing for a landmark special session tomorrow to address what experts describe as a “catastrophic” surge in state violence in Iran. Following a near-total internet blackout, verified reports indicate that security forces have killed nearly 5,000 protesters since December, with thousands more facing expedited trials and potential execution. International monitors warn that the scale of these “unlawful killings” represents the most severe crackdown in the region’s modern history.
