The DA has petitioned international relations and co-operation minister Ronald Lamola to report the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations Human Rights Council UNHRC for human rights abuses.
The party believes Iran is undergoing a revolution, with people rising up against what they allege is living under decades of violent oppression by an autocratic dictator.
In a letter written to Lamola, which this publication has seen, DA spokesperson on international relations and co-operation Ryan Smith describes the response from Iranian authorities as bone chilling.
