We are raising funds to set up a non-profit Foundation to pursue justice, accountability and redress for alleged violations of international law and human rights abuses by Iran and its proxies.

Who am I?

I am Kaveh Moussavi. For decades, I have campaigned against the death penalty, and for democracy, human rights and the rule of law. With my legal team at McCue and Partners LLP, we are working to investigate allegations of international crimes and human rights abuses by the state of Iran and its proxies.

The McCue team and I recently submitted representations and evidence to Swedish authorities that, in November 2019, led to the arrest and detention of Hamid NOURY, an Iranian suspected of crimes against international law. That was the first and only time that a suspect has been arrested in relation the notorious 1988 ‘Prison Massacres’ in Iran, when some 5000 dissidents were summarily executed by Iranian authorities.

What are we doing?

With the legal team at McCue, we continue to work on the NOURY case. We are also working on other cases of alleged violations of international law by Iran and its proxies and preparing necessary and appropriate legal actions to bring the perpetrators to justice.

We urgently need your support! Please contribute and share this page on social media and via email now.

I am establishing a non-profit Foundation, with McCue’s support, in response to numerous unsolicited pledges in light of our work on the NOURY case, and because of the urgent need for resources to pursue justice and accountability for historic and on-going violations. We are raising £30,000 needed to set up the Foundation.

Allegations of crimes against humanity are arising on a daily basis. An acute crisis in Iran has exploded since NOURY’S arrest. Civil protests have been violently suppressed with lethal force. Hundreds have been killed, and thousands detained or disappeared. The state has indicated that mass summary executions are planned. All available legal avenues need to be pursued, to prevent and prosecute these grave allegations of crimes and human rights abuses.

What are we trying to achieve?

The Foundation will stand against impunity. It will promote freedom, tolerance and the rule of law in Iran. The Foundation will support investigations and legal actions, pursuing justice, accountability and redress for Iranian crimes against international law, human rights abuses and violations of humanitarian law.

What are the next steps?

The Foundation will be incorporated. All funds donated will be used to cover the costs of incorporation, to develop a strategic plan, and to continue our vital work on ending impunity in Iran.
