Justice [September 2014]
This edition of the Foreign Policy Centre’s Iran Human Rights Review (IHRR) which focuses on justice brings together contributions on many aspects of legal and social justice in Iran and looks at topics often ignored in mainstream human rights and academic debates. Co-edited by Tahirih Danesh and Hadi Enayat, this issue highlights that lack of justice in the Iranian administration not only affects human rights activists and opposition figures, but in fact ordinary Iranians whose plight is marginal to mainstream human rights and academic debates.
