From the summary of the report:

The present conference room paper contains the comprehensive and detailed findings of the independent international fact-finding mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran, under international human rights law and, as applicable, crimes under international law. In its report (A/HRC/55/67) the Mission outlined its findings in the context of the protests that began on 16 September 2022, in what became known as the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement, especially with respect to women and children. This conference room paper provides contextual, factual, and legal analysis, on the egregious human rights violations committed against the protesters, including on the use of force, arrests and detentions, treatment in detention, digital space and legal proceedings related to the protests, as well as on the custodial death of Jina Mahsa Amini which triggered the protest movement. It concludes with an assessment of State responsibility for the violations established, and recommendations, including on accountability and reparations.
