The UN investigator on human rights in Iran has called for an independent inquiry into allegations of state-ordered executions of thousands of political prisoners in 1988 and the role played by Iranian President-elect Ebrahim Raisi during his term as Tehran deputy prosecutor.
Javaid Rehman said that over the years his office has gathered testimonies and evidence and was ready to share them if the UN Human Rights Council or other body sets up an impartial investigation.
He said he was concerned at reports that some mass graves are being destroyed as part of a continuing cover-up.
