Ukuvakalisa i-alamu kwiingxelo zokuba ubuncinane abantu be-66 baye babulawa e-Iran ngoJanuwari kuphela, kubandakanywa nabagqugquzeli bezopolitiko abaninzi, i-United Nations eyintloko yamalungelo abantu namhlanje iphinde yabiza uRhulumente ukuba ayeke ukusetyenziswa kwesigwebo sokufa.
Uninzi lwabagwetyiweyo kubikwa ukuba lwaluqhutywa kulwaphulo-mthetho lweziyobisi, kodwa ubuncinane amabanjwa amathathu ezobupolitika ayephakathi kwabo baxhonyiweyo, itsho ingxelo yeendaba eyakhutshwa yiOfisi yeZizwe Ezimanyeneyo yoMkomishinala Omkhulu Wamalungelo Abantu (OHCHR).
"Sibongoze i-Iran, amaxesha ngamaxesha, ukuba imise ukubulawa kwabantu," utshilo uMkomishinala oPhezulu uNavi Pillay. "Ndoyika kakhulu into yokuba endaweni yokumamela iminxeba yethu, abasemagunyeni eIran babonakala ngathi bonyusile ukusetyenziswa kwesigwebo sentambo."
Kukho ubuncinci amatyala amathathu awaziwayo apho amatshantliziyo ezopolitiko aye abulawa. UJafar Kazemi, u-Mohammad Ali Haj Aqaei kunye nenye indoda egama layo lingachazwanga bebenxulumana nemibutho yezopolitiko evaliweyo. UMnu. Kazemi noMnu. Aqaei babanjwa ngoSeptemba 2009 ngexesha loqhanqalazo. Bobathathu aba bantu bagwetyelwa imoharebhi okanye “ubutshaba nxamnye noThixo,” baza baxhonywa kwinyanga ephelileyo.
"Ukuchasana akulona ulwaphulo-mthetho," uNksz Pillay wagxininisa, ekhumbula ukuba i-Iran iyinxalenye yoMnqophiso weZizwe ngezizwe wamaLungelo oLuntu kunye nezopolitiko, oqinisekisa ilungelo lokuvakalisa ngokukhululekileyo kunye nombutho okhululekileyo.
“Akwamkelekanga kwaphela ukuba abantu bavalelwe entolongweni ngenxa yokunxulumana namaqela aphikisayo, kungasathethwa ke ukuba bagwetywe ngenxa yeembono zabo zezopolitiko okanye imibutho yabo.”
Ukwagxekile amatyala amabini apho ukubulawa kwabantu kwabanjwa, ngaphandle kwesetyhula eyakhutshwa ngoJanyuwari ka-2008 yintloko yecandelo leenkundla eyayivala ukubulawa kwabantu. Ukongeza, uvakalise inkxalabo enkulu yokuba inani elikhulu labantu ekuxelwe ukuba basahleli kuluhlu lokufa, kubandakanywa amabanjwa ezopolitiko amaninzi, aboni beziyobisi kunye nabaphuli-mthetho abancinci.
“Njengoko i-Iran isazi ngokungathandabuzekiyo, uluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe lulonke lujonge ekuphelisweni kwesigwebo sentambo emthethweni okanye ngokusebenza. Ndihlaba ikhwelo kwi-Iran ukuba imisele ukumiswa kokubulawa kwabantu ngenjongo yokuphelisa isigwebo sentambo,” utshilo uMkomishinala oPhezulu.
"Ubuncinci, ndibamema ukuba bahloniphe imigangatho yamazwe ngamazwe eqinisekisa inkqubo efanelekileyo kunye nokukhuselwa kwamalungelo abo bajongene nesigwebo sentambo, ukunciphisa ngokuthe ngcembe ukusetyenziswa kwayo kunye nokunciphisa inani lamatyala anokuthi anyanzelwe."
