The recent case of Reyhaneh Jabbari, who was recently executed in Iran for murder, has put the country under the human rights spotlight. Western governments and human rights organisations claim she didn’t get a fair trial or decent legal representation. Others wrongly claimed that she was Sunni and used this rumour as a pretext to highlight Iran’s alleged abuses against its Sunni minority. On the other hand, the Iranian authorities say Jabbari was a convicted murderer and her claims of rape were thoroughly investigated and found to lack evidence. They also dismiss allegations that they oppress Sunnis and say they are instead the victims of black propaganda by their enemies. To shed some light on these issues 5Pillarz presents two articles which argue for and against Iran’s human rights record.
