Looking at children’s rights statistics, any person’s heart would ache. In this data, there are at least 25,153 cases of child abuse, sexual assault, and sexual harassment of children. Over 20,000 children registered in marriage, approximately 5 million children deprived of education, 3 cases of self-immolation, and 52 cases of child suicide have been reported.

In the Islamic Republic government, freedom of thought and expression means nothing.

There remains no crime that the Islamic Republic regime has not committed against the Iranian people from children to adults. What sentence should be handed down for the Islamic Republic government that has committed all these crimes against its people in just one year?

Will the file of all these crimes be investigated by human rights organizations in support of the Iranian people?
