Person:notes | 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. | eu_journal_sanctions | eu-oj-a3848ff46e17f5bdc235cf1054ac16e383b8ce8c | ||||
