Scores of protesters blinded by Iran's security forces | DW News

A UN fact-finding mission says that Iran is refusing to allow it to investigate alleged human rights abuses. The mission was set up to look into the Islamic Republic's treatment of protesters following the death of a young woman in police custody last September. People who took to the streets to demonstrate have faced execution, imprisonment and serious injury. Zanyar Tondro lost his right eye - an incident that led him and his family to seek refuge here in Germany.
