Report of the independent international fact-finding mission on the Islamic Republic
The present report, submitted to the Human Rights Council pursuant to resolution 58/21, consolidates the findings of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran, in relation to recent and ongoing serious human rights violations, including the repression that followed during and after the June 2025 hostilities, the sharp rise in executions recorded in 2025, persistent impunity, and structural discrimination, particularly against women, girls, and minorities. It also includes an update on the Mission’s ongoing investigations of credible allegations that gross human rights violations and crimes under international law may have occurred in the context of the protests
that began on 28 December 2025.
On 12 December 2025, several women human rights defenders, including Narges Mohammadi, were arrested and detained at a memorial ceremony in Mashad for a prominent lawyer, Khosrow Alikordi, who was found dead in his office on 6 December under apparently
suspicious circumstances. IRGC Intelligence and plainclothes agents violently arrested the women, transferred them to a detention facility and prevented them from contacting their families for several days.
In early February, Ms. Mohammadi was sentenced to seven and a half years of imprisonment for “assembly and collusion against national security” and “propaganda against the state,” two years of internal exile and a two-year travel ban, reportedly resulting
in a total sentence of imprisonment of 44 years. Even though she has been taken to hospital twice since her arrest, she remains in overall deteriorating health.

“Do you fear the result of the ballot box? I don’t.” – Reza Pahlavi
While Iranians on the ground chant his name from Tehran to Tabriz, from Ahvaz to Karaj, a coordinated campaign is underway to defame him from abroad across online platforms and mainstream media.
The contrast is telling.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲
Reza Pahlavi is not just an opposition figure. He is the most popular opposition leader and, by any serious measure, the most popular political figure in Iran today. And he is openly calling for free and democratic elections.
Inside Iran, people risk their lives calling for him as a unifying figure to end the Islamic Republic and move toward a secular, democratic future.
Outside Iran, a powerful online and media ecosystem works overtime to discredit him.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝘅 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺
Not because he rejects democracy but because he openly embraces it.
Pahlavi has been explicit: no imposed system, no inherited power, no fear of free and open elections. The future of Iran will be decided by the Iranian people at the ballot box.
𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻
And this is not rhetoric without substance.
Reza Pahlavi has said his team of experts has developed a clear plan for the first 100 days after the regime’s collapse, along with a roadmap for Iran’s long-term reconstruction and stabilization. He has proposed organizing the opposition around a short list of universal principles:
▪️ Iran’s territorial integrity
▪️ Separation of religion and state
▪️ Individual liberties, equality of all citizens, and the Iranian people’s right to decide their democratic system through free and fair elections
𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆.
These principles are not controversial. They are foundational, and they should unite all Iranians who want a free and democratic future.
That is exactly what terrifies his critics.
𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝘄
And the actors doing the legwork are familiar.
The ideological left and the MEK (Mojahedin-e-Khalq), the same forces that helped dismantle Iran’s institutions and derail its reform trajectory in 1979, are once again at the center of the effort. Alongside Iran-lobby networks that represent the Islamic Republic’s interests abroad, they enjoy direct access to mainstream media and policy platforms.
𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁
That access is used to whitewash the regime’s crimes, soften its image, and reinforce false narratives, including the claim that Reza Pahlavi lacks popular support, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Even the digital record mirrors the streets.
When Iranians had access to Instagram and social media, Reza Pahlavi’s videos consistently drew tens of millions of views and millions of likes, reflecting massive grassroots support from inside Iran.
When the regime imposed internet blackouts and Iranians were forced offline, those numbers plummeted, not because support disappeared, but because millions were physically cut off from the platforms. When access returned, engagement surged again.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴
The videos that did make it out of Iran during these periods told the same story.
Any serious and credible opposition should be amplifying the voices of Iranians inside Iran, especially those risking their lives in the streets. That is the standard they claim to uphold. When those voices are loud, clear, and inconvenient, they cannot simply be ignored.
Footage flowing out of the country was ubiquitous in its messaging. Across cities and regions, the same chants dominated protest videos:
▪️ “Javid Shah” (Eternal King)
▪️ “Reza Shah, roohat shad” (Reza Shah, may your soul be at peace)
▪️ “Shah, Shah, Shah bar-gard” (Shah, Shah, Shah, come back)
▪️ “In akharin nabardeh, Pahlavi bar migardeh” (This is the final battle, Pahlavi will return)
These chants were not isolated or rare. They appeared repeatedly in raw, unedited videos from inside Iran, echoing across demonstrations in different regions and cities, spanning Iran’s wide geography and cutting across social classes, ethnic communities, and religious centers.
When those voices do not align with preferred narratives, they are not amplified. They are sidelined.
The pattern is consistent.
𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁
Instead of confronting the Islamic Republic’s historic crimes against humanity, crimes that have left tens of thousands dead, entire generations traumatized, and a nation bled dry, many prominent “Iran analysts” now devote a disproportionate amount of their time to attacking a single opposition figure.
That figure is Reza Pahlavi, whose central position is calling for free and fair democratic elections and insisting that the Iranian people should decide their future.
A quick look at their X feeds makes this imbalance impossible to miss. Their posts are rarely focused on the regime’s mass killings, systemic repression, or entrenched corruption.
Instead, they are dominated by an ongoing fixation on Reza Pahlavi, not because he rejects democracy, but precisely because he advocates it and, by any fair and open vote, would likely prevail.
𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲
As crimes against humanity and mass atrocities unfold at a scale not seen in generations, Iranian protesters face a campaign of violence that has left more than 40,000 killed, according to multiple reports, by the Islamic Republic and its foreign proxy forces.
Amid this historic level of repression, smear campaigns intensify, narratives are carefully managed, and blame is deliberately redirected away from the perpetrators.
This inversion is intentional and follows a long-standing propaganda and whitewashing playbook designed to shield the regime from accountability.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿
History will remember who stood with the Iranian people and who chose narrative management over justice.
Reza Pahlavi and those who support him are not afraid of the ballot box.
So why are you?
Let us pray for peace in Ukraine, the Middle East, and every region where fighting unfortunately continues for interests other than those of the people. Peace is built on respect for people!
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Reza Pahlavi already has a name for Iran’s version of the Abraham Accords:
"Trump brokered the Abraham Accords, bringing peace between Arab nations and Israel.
I see extending this idea to a free Iran through what we could call the Cyrus Accords, honoring our ancient heritage of tolerance and partnership."

🇮🇷Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi:
“There are moments in history when the moral imperative for action is so strong that the weight of inaction becomes unbearable. This is one of those moments.”
"The so-called Islamic Republic is not the government of Iran. It is a hostile occupying force that has hijacked our homeland," Iranian Prince Reza Pahlavi said in a press conference in Washington DC on Friday.
"More than 12,000 Iranians were massacred in 48 hours. One murder every 14 seconds. Khamenei's killers even hunted the wounded protesters in hospitals and executed them in cold blood."
