Activists Call on UNGA Attendees to Hold Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani Accountable

Diplomats should raise the issue of the arrests of peaceful activists, lawyers and others with Rouhani and the international media should hold Iranian officials accountable in interviews and press conferences by directly questioning them on the deteriorating rights situation in Iran.
