🔶 29 political activists protest executions and violations of the right to a fair trial

Twenty-nine political and civil activists inside and outside Iran, by publishing a joint statement, while protesting what they called the intensification of political and security-related executions and the violations of what they termed the right to a fair trial, demanded an immediate and unconditional stop to the executions.

Referring to the execution of several detainees from the protests of Dey 1404, the signatories said that the so-called “Aliqhani Square, Isfahan” case is among the cases in which the harshest treatment occurred.

They wrote that the executed individuals were taken to the gallows without having access to “the right to a fair trial,” and that families are now mourning. According to the signatories, in recent months—after the war—political and ideological executions have increased with alarming speed and have reached a level that is unprecedented.

The signatories added: “These verdicts have been issued in courts that are not open to the public and away from the public eye and the media, but the implementation of the death sentence has been carried out publicly.”
