Of my 42,000 followers here, hundreds are UN officials, ambassadors & NGO activists. As we begin Day 5 of #IranProtests, are any of you aware of a single United Nations entity or official who has spoken out for the human rights of protesters arrested, beaten, tear-gassed & shot?
1. Most deafening silence: U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid al-Hussein, the Jordanian prince who jumps to condemn Israel & U.S. His refusal to say one word for #Iran's victims violates his duty to protect civil and political rights for all. un.org/documents/ga/r… 
2. Silent also: UNHRC's 44 thematic human rights investigators. Why no urgent statements on abuses in #IranProtests from experts on arbitrary detention, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, torture? Their names: spinternet.ohchr.org/_Layouts/Speci…
Why does this office need $360 million?

3. Also silent on Iran's greatest protests in 40 years is—ironically—the UN expert on human rights in Iran. Her name: @Asma_Jahangir, sr-iran@ohchr.org. The @UNHumanRights experts call themselves "an early warning system." Then why is she silent on Iran's beating of protesters?
