Izwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngemibiko yokuthi okungenani abantu abangama-66 babulawa e-Iran ngoJanuwari kuphela, okuhlanganisa nezishoshovu ezimbalwa zezombusazwe, isikhulu samalungelo abantu seNhlangano Yezizwe namuhla siphinde sacela uHulumeni ukuthi amise ukusetshenziswa kwesigwebo sentambo.
Ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi kubikwa ukuthi kwenziwa ngokuphathelene namacala ezidakamizwa, kodwa okungenani iziboshwa zezombangazwe ezintathu zaziphakathi kwalabo abalengiswa, kusho umbiko wezindaba owakhishwa iHhovisi le-UN likaKhomishana Omkhulu Wamalungelo Abantu (OHCHR).
"Sinxuse i-Iran, kaningi, ukuthi imise ukubulawa kwabantu," kusho uKhomishana Omkhulu uNavi Pillay. "Ngiphatheke kabi ngokuthi esikhundleni sokulalela izingcingo zethu, iziphathimandla zase-Irani zibukeka sengathi zengezelele ukusetshenziswa kwesigwebo sentambo."
Okungenani kunamacala amathathu aziwayo lapho kwabulawa khona izishoshovu zezombusazwe. U-Jafar Kazemi, u-Mohammad Ali Haj Aqaei kanye nenye indoda igama layo elingadalulwanga bangamalungu ezinhlangano zezombusazwe ezivinjelwe. UMnu. Kazemi kanye noMnu. Aqaei baboshwa ngoSepthemba 2009 ngesikhathi kunemibhikisho. Bobathathu laba balahlwa yicala le-mohareb noma “ubutha kuNkulunkulu,” futhi balengiswa ngenyanga edlule.
“Ukuphikisa akulona icala,” kugcizelela uNksz Pillay, ekhumbula ukuthi i-Iran iyingxenye yeSivumelwano Samazwe Ngamazwe Samalungelo Omphakathi Nezepolitiki, esiqinisekisa ilungelo lokukhuluma ngokukhululeka kanye nokuzihlanganisa ngokukhululekile.
“Akwamukelekile neze ukuthi abantu baboshwe ngenxa yokuhlangana namaqembu aphikisayo, kungasaphathwa ukuthi babulawe ngenxa yemibono yabo yezepolitiki noma izinhlangano zabo.”
Uphinde wagxeka amacala amabili okubulawa kwabantu emphakathini, naphezu kwesekhula eyakhishwa ngoJanuwari 2008 yinhloko yophiko lwezobulungiswa eyayivimbela ukubulawa kwabantu emphakathini. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uzwakalise ukukhathazeka okukhulu ngokuthi isibalo esikhulu sabantu okubikwa ukuthi sisasohlwini lokufa, okuhlanganisa neziboshwa eziningi zezombusazwe, izigilamkhuba zezidakamizwa kanye nentsha imbala.
“Njengoba i-Iran ngokungangabazeki yazi, umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe usuphokophele ekuqedweni kwesigwebo sentambo emthethweni noma ngokwenza. Ngicela i-Iran imise ukumiswa kokubulawa kwabantu ngenhloso yokuqeda isigwebo sentambo,” kusho uKhomishana Omkhulu.
"Okungenani, ngibacela ukuthi bahloniphe izindinganiso zamazwe ngamazwe eziqinisekisa inqubo efanele kanye nokuvikelwa kwamalungelo alabo ababhekene nesigwebo sentambo, ukuze banciphise kancane kancane ukusetshenziswa kwaso futhi behlise inani lamacala angase abekwe wona."
