That is the central conclusion of a new report entitled, "Iran: New Government Fails To Address Dire Human Rights Situation," by the London-based international rights advocacy group.
The group expresses concern about what it says appears to be intensifying repression since the new government took office in August 2005.
The report says current tensions over the country's nuclear program must not distract either the government or the international community from addressing the country's human rights problems.
