UN rights chief Turk condemns Minab school bombing: 'visceral horror,' demands justice
UN Human Rights Council High Commissioner Volker Turk condemned the February 28 bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab as evoking 'visceral horror.' Turk called on Washington to conclude its investigation promptly and make findings public: 'There must be justice for the terrible harm done.' Senior US officials previously said the strike — which killed students — is under investigation.
Actor responses
Senior US officials have previously said the Minab school strike is under investigation. UN rights chief Turk called on the US to conclude and publish findings. The US has not responded to Turk's HRC statement.
Iran has repeatedly cited the Minab school bombing as evidence of US/Israeli war crimes. The UN rights chief's condemnation provides international legal standing to Iran's position, though Turk stopped short of attributing blame.
