The Human Rights Activists News Agency, in a detailed report, announced that within just one month (from October 22 to November 21), at least 133 executions were carried out in Iran, including one public execution, 24 death sentences issued, and seven death sentences upheld.
This report, published on Thursday, November 21, on the HRANA website (hra-news), warned of “serious challenges in the field of human rights in Iran.”
According to the report, the state of human rights violations in Iran over the past month presents a “troubling outlook.”
The report states: “We have witnessed widespread violations, including the implementation of death sentences without fair trials, suppression of freedom of expression, arbitrary detentions, denial of the right to education, suicides among children and adolescents, domestic and honor-based violence against women, violations of workers’ rights, and excessive use of force by security forces.”
The report emphasizes the “urgent need for effective international and domestic actions to address these violations and support the victims,” stating that “instances of military and judicial violence, especially against women and minorities, have raised deep concerns regarding the Iranian regime’s commitment to upholding international human rights standards.”
The report includes instances such as “executions in cases where fair judicial procedures were not followed,” “widespread suppression of freedom of expression and arbitrary arrests,” “extensive violations of the right to education through student suspensions,” and “suicides resulting from pressure and hopelessness among children and adolescents.”
Highlighted in the report are the execution of Jamshid Sharmahd, a dual Iranian-German citizen, on charges of “corruption on earth”; death sentences for Milad Armoon, Alireza Kafaie, Amir Mohammad Khosheghbal, Navid Najaran, Hossein Nemati, and Alireza Barmarzpournak—six protesters involved in the case known as the “Ekbatan kids“; the issuance of a death sentence for Mohammad Mahdi S., one of those arrested during the nationwide 2022 protests, on charges of “murdering a IRGC Basij member”; and the sentencing of Varisheh Moradi, a political prisoner, to death on charges of “armed rebellion.”
