Execution

Iran executed two men convicted of attempting to storm a military facility during January's anti-government protests. The men were among four facing execution in a crackdown on unrest.

Amirhossein Hatami was among 11 men said to have been at imminent risk of execution, and who had been "subjected to torture and other ill-treatment in detention."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez also responded to the bill on Tuesday, calling its passing "one more step toward apartheid."

Two of those executed on Monday were killed without advance notice, denying them the chance to meet with their lawyers or say goodbye to their families, according to Amnesty International. 

For Prof. Yoram Rabin, a criminal and constitutional law scholar and president of the College of Management Academic Studies, the law is both a moral rupture and a legally vulnerable one.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime should pause cooperation with the Islamic regime over drug-related executions, according to a newly published Harm Reduction International report.

“Saleh was not guilty. He went to the street alongside 1000s of other young protesters. This is a circus of the regime," Pashaei asserted.

The Hengaw human rights organization reported that the men gave their confessions after being tortured, and they were found guilty despite there being no witnesses or evidence.

The man was found "guilty of providing Israel's spy agency, Mossad, with pictures and information about sensitive locations in Iran," Mizan reported on Wednesday.

A Tehran revolutionary court has reportedly sentenced Mohammad Abbasi to death on charges of “enmity against god,” a ruling not yet confirmed by Iran’s judiciary or Supreme Court.
