The alarming wave of executions in Iran
In recent months, Iran has witnessed a disturbing increase in death sentences and executions targeting political prisoners and protesters. This escalation follows the appointment of Massoud Pezeshkian, part of the regime’s strategy to suppress any potential uprisings and maintain control.
The Iranian authorities are increasingly using the death penalty as a tool of repression, aiming to silence opposition and intimidate the public. Particularly alarming are the cases of political prisoners who have been sentenced to death without fair trials and are being held under brutal conditions.
Death sentences for political prisoners
Of particular concern are the cases of Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, two political prisoners who have been sentenced to death in unjust trials by the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, led by the notorious Judge Iman Afshari. Both have been accused of supporting opposition groups and “conspiring against national security.”
- Behrouz Ehsani, a 69-year-old political prisoner, suffers from multiple health issues and continues to be detained under inhumane conditions despite his age and illness.
- Mehdi Hassani, 48 years old, has been imprisoned under torture and remains in solitary confinement.
These unjust death sentences are a clear violation of human rights and international law, calling for urgent global intervention to stop these executions.
