ECAJ Submission on Human rights implications of recent violence in Iran

The Executive Council of Aus­trali­an Jewry (ECAJ) is shocked and saddened by the recent gov­ern­ment repres­sion in Iran and the ensuing loss of life and mass arrests which have given rise to the current Inquiry. This sub­mis­sion is a tribute to the bravery of Iranians, espe­cially women, who are strug­gling for freedom and justice in their own country in the face of a brutal theo­crat­ic dic­tat­or­ship.

The sub­mis­sion can be read here.
