Descriptions

Eskandar Momeni is Iran’s Minister of the Interior and Head of the National Security Council. In this role, he oversees Iran’s Law Enforcement Forces (LEF), which are responsible for blatant and severe human rights violations in the country. Momeni also serves as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and in this capacity oversees different security forces of the IRGC, including the Basij Resistance Force. In his dual role, Momeni is responsible for suppressing street protests, which have seen hundreds of casualties at the hands of different security forces under his control. Momeni was also put in charge of an investigation into the death in August 2024 of Mohammad Mirmousavi, who was tortured to death by security forces, and Momeni exonerated the security forces in that case by blaming the victim. Eskandar Momeni is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran.

Eskandar Momeni est le ministre iranien de l’intérieur et le chef du Conseil de la sécurité nationale. À ce titre, il supervise les forces de l’ordre iraniennes, qui sont responsables de violations flagrantes et graves des droits de l’homme dans le pays. Momeni exerce également la fonction de commandant en chef adjoint du corps des gardiens de la révolution islamique (IRGC) et, à ce titre, supervise différentes forces de sécurité de l’IRGC, y compris la force de résistance Basij. Dans le cadre de sa double fonction, Momeni est responsable de la répression des manifestations de rue, qui a fait des centaines de victimes aux mains de différentes forces de sécurité placées sous son contrôle. Momeni a également été chargé d’une enquête sur la mort, en août 2024, de Mohammad Mirmousavi, torturé à mort par les forces de sécurité, et Momeni a exonéré les forces de sécurité dans cette affaire en rejetant la faute sur la victime. Eskandar Momeni est donc responsable de graves violations des droits de l’homme en Iran.
