Crimes charges against Iran sought  
 

Payam Akhavan, a former UN war crimes prosecutor at The Hague and co-founder of Iran Human Rights Documentation Centre, is working on a petition to send to the UN Security Council and The Hague. It will look into Iran's post-election violence.

In an interview to Al Jazeera from New York, Akhavan said "the Iranian regime can't continue to suppress people unless they resort to mass murder".
