IRAN PROLIFERATION : Depuis le 25 août 2021, ministre de l’intérieur. Ancien président de l’Université suprême de la défense nationale et ancien ministre du MODAFL. - IRAN REPRESSION : Ahmad Vahidi est le ministre iranien de l'intérieur depuis le 25 août 2021. À ce titre, il est responsable des forces de l'ordre iraniennes. Depuis son entrée en fonction, un nombre sans précédent de militaires et de responsables de la sécurité ont été nommés en tant que gouverneurs de province, lesquels jouent un rôle clé dans la coordination des activités de contrôle des foules menées par les forces spéciales de la police, la milice Basij et le Corps des gardiens de la révolution islamique (IRGC). Les violations flagrantes et graves des droits de l'homme commises par les forces de l'ordre iraniennes, telles que les tirs aveugles à balles réelles sur des manifestants pacifiques, y compris des enfants, ont été largement documentées depuis le début des manifestations autour de la mort de Mahsa Amini à la mi-septembre 2022. Plus de 70 manifestants sont morts et des centaines ont été gravement blessés, dont des enfants. Depuis le début des manifestations, les forces de police ont également détenu arbitrairement de nombreux défenseurs des droits de l'homme et journalistes. M. Vahidi a en outre plaidé publiquement en faveur d'une approche sévère à l'égard des personnes participant à ces manifestations. Il est donc responsable de graves violations des droits de l'homme en Iran.
