Unicef must act immediately to protect Iranian children.

---

Dear Sir/Madam,

At least 58 children, some reportedly as young as eight, have been killed in Iran since anti-regime protests broke out in the country two months ago, according to Guardian on November 20.

The Iranian authorities have repeatedly ignored all calls to cease the unlawful use of force and to prosecute those responsible for unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, torture and other ill-treatment of protesters, bystanders and of people deprived of their liberty. The price of this systematic impunity is being paid with human lives, including children’s.

The Iranian authorities are systematically harassing and intimidating victims’ families to hide the truth that they have the blood of children on their hands. These despicable methods further underline the scale and depravity of the Iranian authorities’ crackdown and provide further proof that all avenues for truth and justice are closed at the domestic level

We, British Iranians  living in UK, ask Unicef to act immediately by putting pressure on the international community to end the impunity enjoyed by the Iranian authorities for their systematic crimes and gross violations of human rights. Unicef must act immediately to protect Iranian children.

Regards,
