The Iran Twitter account of the human rights NGO Amnesty International condemned the brutality and called on the UN to act. It tweeted: "This shocking video sent from Tehran today is another horrific reminder that the cruelty of Iran’s security forces knows no bounds. Amid a crisis of impunity, they’re given free rein to brutally beat & shoot protestors. @UN_HRC must urgently investigate these crimes."
The UNHRC is an abbreviation for the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council. A UNHRC spokesman told Fox News Digital that Iran has been on the council's agenda for over a decade and that it had appointed a special rapporteur in 2011 to look at the human rights situation there. "States and NGOs have also been addressing the situation in Iran at the Human Rights Council, including at its most recent session in September/October, where a number of them condemned the crackdown on protesters and the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in September."
