National Human Rights Commission condemns Israeli-American aggression crimes against children & civilian facilities in Iran

The National Human Rights Commission strongly condemned the brutal war crime in which the Israeli-American aggression targeted children in the Islamic Republic of Iran, carrying out a terrorist strike on a girls’ elementary school in the “Minab” area of Hormozgan Province, southern Iran.

In a statement received by the Yemen News Agency (SABA), the Commission described the aggressive act as a heinous crime that resulted in the martyrdom of 53 girls and injuries to more than 52 students at the elementary school.

The statement said: “While condemning this atrocious criminal act that violates the principles of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, the National Human Rights Commission calls on all free people of the world—international organizations, human rights activists, civil society organizations, and human rights defenders in general, and child rights advocates in particular—to denounce this war crime, which amounts to an act of genocide.”

The Commission urged the free people of the world to pressure the United Nations Security Council and the Human Rights Council to quickly establish an independent and impartial international investigation committee to ascertain the facts, and to refer the war criminals in the American and Israeli regimes to international justice to receive fair punishment for their crimes against children and civilian facilities.
