UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on the Iranian authorities to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from using unnecessary force.
Elchi.az reports that this was stated by the spokesperson of the UN Secretary-General, Stefan Dujarric.
“The United Nations (UN) is closely monitoring the demonstrations and acts of violence in Iran and is seriously concerned about the losses. At the same time, it is important to ensure access to information in the country, including the restoration of communication links,” the spokesperson added.
He stated that UN staff in the country are currently in a safe environment, and all contacts are maintained as much as possible. The organization continues to monitor the processes and demands that steps be taken to protect the rights of Iranian citizens.
