Summary
A UN fact-finding mission said Thursday that Iranian security forces committed crimes against humanity during their crackdown on nationwide protests.
The mission cited mass killings, torture and arbitrary detention as the basis for its findings.
The determination sharply escalates international scrutiny of Iran's handling of the protest unrest by framing the abuses as among the gravest violations under international law.
