His presentation, which will include condemnation of Iran's treatment of non-Persian ethnic groups, will be followed by a dialogue between the Special Rapporteur, UN member states and the Iranian regime.
It promises to be a lively event. The Iranian regime has already accused Shaheed of being a paid American agent, relying on biased evidence. However, it has barred him and all other UN rapporteurs from visiting Iran since 2005; the last being Miloon Kothari, the then UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, who accused the regime of forcibly displacing Ahwazi Arabs. Iran has therefore failed to abide by its obligations under UN Special Procedures.
