Human rights abuses during Iranian revolution

Abstract

This study uses a structured literature review to begin an extensive investigation of human rights in Iran. The paper explores women's rights and the startlingly high rate of violence against Iranian women, concentrating on important features. Examining the workings of two major revolutions—the anti-Shah movement and the contemporary state violence entwined with the Green Movement—it analyzes the dynamics of protest policing. Furthermore, the research deconstructs the sociocultural shifts that have shaped Iran's human rights environment and looks at rights violations, including UN denunciations. In order to offer a theoretical foundation for this investigation, the second section summarizes legal frameworks and clarifies important conceptions of human rights that apply to revolutionary conditions. The final goal of this section is to identify paths for the preservation of HR in Iran. The empirical analysis covers historical eras, many presidencies, and the larger context of the revolution itself to explore the complex link between the Iranian Revolution and HR. A thorough grasp of human rights frameworks, theories, and the unique difficulties presented by revolutionary situations can be obtained from theoretical foundations. Important topics including women's rights, violence against women, protest policing, and the background of Iran's main revolutions are examined in a critical literature study. The study design provides a strong framework for analysis by combining historical analysis with empirical investigation. Human rights violations are painstakingly tracked from the Shah's rule to President Raisi's current administration in two chapters of an empirical study.
