"Iranian authorities have carried out executions on a near-daily basis in recent weeks in what activists have denounced as a bid to instil fear in society at a time of international and domestic tension."
"The Norway-based NGO Iran Human Rights described the three as political prisoners who had been sentenced after unfair trials in the revolutionary courts."
"Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the director of IHR, said: The international community, especially the European Union, must respond decisively to this ongoing wave of executions."
Iran has executed three men, Mehdi Rassouli, Mohammad Reza Miri, and Ebrahim Dolatabadi, in connection with political protests from January. These executions are part of a series of hangings aimed at instilling fear during heightened international tensions. Rights groups classify the men as political prisoners, asserting they were convicted after unfair trials. Since March, Iran has executed 24 political prisoners, with calls for the international community to respond to these actions. The protests were initially sparked by economic grievances but escalated into widespread demonstrations against the regime.
