Iran, one of the world's leading violator of women's and human rights, has been elected to the United Nation's Commission on the Status of Women. The UN forum, which purports to advance "gender equality and the empowerment of women" across the globe, includes leading human rights abusers such as China, Cuba, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.

Iranian authorities use electric shocks on gay, lesbian, and transgender children, along with other forms of torture, as a way to "cure" their sexual orientation, a new United Nations report disclosed. 

The disclosure comes as President Biden's administration decided to go easy on Iran's bloody human right record. The Biden staffers have been "silent on Iran’s rights record" as they hope to engage the regime on the nuclear issue, the Voice of America observed recently. 

United Nations inspectors have found new evidence that "Iran has undertaken work on nuclear weapons," the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday. The UN nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), found traces of radioactive material at Iranian nuclear sites, indicating that the regime is secretly building a nuclear bomb, the report suggests.
