Iranian authorities have executed 42-year-old Fathollah Avari in Hamedan Prison, according to Mizan news agency today. Avri was accused of involvement in the death of a police officer during the nationwide protests in Hamedan. His execution follows a deeply flawed pattern in Iran, where individuals linked to anti-government protests face capital punishment after proceedings that fail to meet international fair trial standards. Iran HRM condemns this execution and reiterates that the death penalty is being used as a tool of political repression to silence dissent and intimidate a population demanding freedom and justice. We urge the international community, United Nations, and human rights organizations to take urgent action to stop the escalating wave of executions in Iran. #StopExecutionsInIran

.@volker_turk deplores the execution of two more people in Iran. Since the military escalation began, at least 34 people have been executed on political & national security charges, including in the context of the January protests. It is unacceptable that the Iranian authorities are instrumentalising the current conflict to further stifle dissent. The UN Human Rights Chief urges Iranian authorities to promptly impose a total moratorium on the death penalty.

🚨Since March 19, at least 37 political prisoners have been executed in Iran, an average of one execution every 49 hours.
