"Last week the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) celebrated the 37th anniversary of its foundation."
While Iranian officials were touring European capitals and signing commercial and economic contracts, Iranian human rights activists, such as those working at the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation (ABF), were gathering the results of their research on the human rights situation in Iran. These results point to another reality, a tragic one, less visible but no less crucial than the nuclear issue, for it affects the lives of thousands of citizens, and its devastating social consequences are yet to be determined."
