"What is definite is that these criminals must be [...] brought to justice," he says.

He added that physical and psychological damages “inflicted on each individual of the Iranian nation in the 2nd and 3rd imposed wars, from child killings and war crimes in Minab and Lamerd to attacks on medical centres, is each a legal file that must be pursued in both domestic and international courts.”

He further stated that from the “murder” of newborns and the elderly to the assassination of his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “each is a file among thousands of major legal cases that must be earnestly pursued in domestic and international courts”.

“What is definite is that these criminals must be seized by the collar and brought to justice for their criminal deeds,” he asserted.

Never in my life could I have expected to agree with the Iranian government. But, on this specific issue? I do. There needs to be accountability for this.

    And yet all islamic states seem to do horrible things to women / lgbt based on religious tenants.
    Just because some are less bad than others doesn’t mean it isn’t a pattern. Your own wiki link includes this near the start

    There are, however, punishments for various types of Zina (unlawful sexual relations) in Islamic law. Zina includes both fornication (when they are unmarried), for which the punishment is flogging, and adultery (when they are married, but not to each other), for which the punishment is death by stoning.

    I guess that it might be unfair to paint with the exact some brush but its a brush that looks quite similar for each of them.

    UAE does seem to be partly an exception to this however there are still things such as

    Emirati law requires women to obtain a male guardian’s consent to marry. Additionally, a husband has legal rights to request his wife’s obedience, and women can be deemed “disobedient” if they take outside employment without their husband’s consent Etc

    It’s probably more of a fundamentalist state issue than only Islamic states but it doesn’t change the end result
