The number executions announced by the media in Iran in the past 30 days reaches 35.
The rising number of executions, widespread arrest of young people under the pretext of ‘Social Security Plan’, increasing suppression of women for improper veiling and other suppressive measures on the brink of the anniversary of the uprising of Iranian people in June are aimed to intensify the atmosphere of intimidation and terror in the country to prevent spread of social upheavals.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all international organizations concerned with human rights, the United Nations Secretary General and High Commissioner for Human Rights to adopt urgent measures to stop escalating trend of human rights violations, particularly the barbaric punishment of execution in Iran.
