The Special Rapporteur would like to extend his wishes for a very Happy Nowruz to the people and Government of Iran.
Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain
-Saadi (13th-century poet)
