The World Economic Forum (WEF) is facing criticism for inviting Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to its summit in Davos this week. United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) urged the WEF to disinvite Iranian officials, citing reports of the regime's recent mass slaughter of Iranian civilians protesting in January. UANI CEO Mark Wallace stated that Araghchi is a member of the Supreme National Security Council, which allegedly ordered the use of live fire on protesters, resulting in thousands of deaths. Iran's supreme leader acknowledged the deaths during the protests, blaming the U.S. for the unrest. Human rights groups estimate that thousands were killed during the protests. The WEF has not responded to requests for comment.
