Following the release of the UN Fact-finding Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s report to the UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC today in Geneva, Mnemonic is launching the Iranian Archive as a project forensically preserving over 1.3 million pieces of open source digital information related to the violent crackdowns against civilians during the nationwide protests in Islamic Republic of Iran following the death of Mahsa Jina Amini at the hands of the Islamic Republic’s morality police in September 2022. Building on the success of the Syrian, Yemeni, Sudanese, and Ukrainian Archives, the Iranian Archive aims to collect, preserve, process, and verify digital evidence to support accountability proceedings and investigations related to events in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Important for #OSINT human rights investigations! @X now allows researchers to apply for API access to help facilitate crucial research in line with the EU #DSA. Recognition of role of CSOs to identify systemic EU risks will be crucial. We look forward to testing this process!
