Dear Mr. Secretary General,

We are writing to express our deepest concerns about the situation in Iran. The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has failed to respect the outcome of an electoral process which had already been restricted to four trusted candidates. In reaction to the peaceful protests by citizens and voters who felt cheated, the government resorted to outright violence, further suppression of rights and restriction of all media coverage. University dormitories have been attacked and students and faculty savagely beaten and detained. Most tragically, several students have already been killed.

We commend the remarkable and resilient actions of the grassroots organizations of Iranian civil society led by courageous women, students, teachers and workers, and support their demands for democracy, individual liberties, and political and religious freedoms.

We condemn the acts of violence against Iranians who are peacefully and legitimately demanding basic rights, and would like to request that you appoint and send a new Envoy to Iran to investigate the outright violations of human rights by the Iranian government.

Sincerely.
