The Names of All 133 Officials Accused of November 2019 Crimes

At the outset of the Aban Tribunal on Wednesday, 10 November, the names of 133 Iranian officials from 12 Iranian provinces were read out to the room.

Because of their positions on local or national security councils, according to the co-counsel, these individuals could be considered to bear command responsibility for international crimes committed in connection with the November 2019 protests. First established during the post-WWII Nuremberg Trials, command responsibility means that those who gave the order for acts to be carried out that they knew to be illegal, and/or who failed to take steps to prevent these crimes from occurring, are as criminally liable as – in this instance – the officer that pulled the trigger.

Drewery Dyke, chairperson of the London-based Rights Realization Centre and a former researcher for Amnesty International, explained to the Aban Tribunal panel: “We want to say the names, for those in Iran who could be watching. We hold these people responsible for the acts that took place in Iran in November 2019.”

In this spirit, IranWire has also decided to publish the names in full. Job titles are as they were at the time the atrocities were committed in November 2019.
