Taking into account the previously announced statistics, in the past two weeks, the regime has executed at least 38 prisoners, including two political prisoners. The number of executions in the first two months of 2023 is at least 105.
The Iran Resistance, once again, calls for the urgent action of the United Nations, the European Union, and their member states to save the lives of prisoners on death row, particularly political prisoners, and to compel the mullahs’ regime to halt executions and killings. This regime must be expelled from the international community, its dossier of crimes referred to the United Nations Security Council, and its leaders brought to justice for four decades of genocide and crimes against humanity.
