It is 3:30 PM on Monday, October 12th in Colombia, which means it’s midnight in Iran and Tuesday, October 13th has just begun. I have just finished my last meal, as my 24-hour hunger strike starts now. ​I join #NoToExecutionTuesdays in solidarity with the brave people of Iran.

#Iran: UN experts urge immediate halt to executions. Iran has seen too much death: lives lost to war and lives taken by their own State. "What happened cannot be undone, but what happens to those facing execution lies within the authorities' control." ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

Undeterred by months of attacks, Iran is hunting down dissident Iranians inside and outside the country. As Iran fast-tracks executions at home, Iranians abroad have been warned of credible threats of kidnapping and assassination. Our latest: reuters.com/investigates/spe…

It is unacceptable that independent experts have become a target of coordinated efforts, aimed at undermining not only confidence in the Special Procedures system, but also the credibility of the @UN and its #HumanRights architecture as a whole. ohchr.org/en/press-releases/… #HRC63

There are growing concerns that the oldest #Protestant church in #Iran, and its surrounding buildings, may be demolished, after residents were ordered to evacuate by tomorrow. Several of the 20 #Assyrian and #Armenian families who live in the #StPeters church compound in #Tehran have already left, while the remaining residents, including two Muslim families, have now received their final warning. And it is the ejection also of the Muslim residents, who had been living in a building belonging to the #BibleSociety, that has elevated fears that the whole complex, including the historic church, may be demolished. This comes just a month after an historic church in #Mashhad, which like St Peter’s belonged to the Presbyterian denomination, was demolished without warning or explanation.

Escalating conflict across Iran and the Middle East has killed over 1,000 people, displaced over 100,000 *more* and affected 16 countries. WHO has verified 13 attacks on health care in Iran, and one in Lebanon. Attacks on health care violate humanitarian law. Nuclear risks pose grave public health threats. Operations at WHO's Logistics Hub for Global Health Emergencies in Dubai are currently on hold due to insecurity. WHO is working closely with our offices in the affected countries to monitor the impact on the delivery of health services, and provide support when needed and requested. I call on all parties to uphold international law, protect health facilities, health workers and patients. Peace is the best medicine. Only the brave chose peace.
