The UN has denounced executions, torture and more than 4,000 detainees in Iran since the beginning of the war.
The objective, according to human rights organizations, is clear: to install a climate of terror to stop any attempt at dissent.
One of the most shocking cases is that of Babak Alipour, a 34-year-old lawyer executed after spending years
on death row.Before he died, he managed to record a video from prison where he denounced the regime's repression.
His family was arrested after participating in a vigil in front of the prison.
The Iranian regime has deepened its policy of internal repression since the beginning of the war on February 28, with at least 21 executions and more than 4,000 people arrested for political or national security reasons, as reported by the United Nations Organization.
The High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, was blunt: “The authorities continue to violate the rights of the Iranian people in a brutal and ruthless manner.”
According to the report:
9 people were executed for participating in protests 10 for
alleged membership of opposition groups
2 for charges of espionage
Organizations such as Amnesty International warn that Iran is one of the countries that most applies the death penalty
in the world.
The UN warned that many detainees were subjected to:
Enforceddisappearances
Systematic torture
Cruel and inhuman
duress
According to research cited by The Guardian, executions have accelerated in
The executions take place in a context of growing political instability, marked by the rise of Mojtaba Khamenei after the death of
his father.Far from easing tensions, the regime tightened internal control.
The UN demanded:
Immediately suspend executions
Ensure fair trials
Release arbitrarily detainees
However, so far there have been no signs of change on the part of
the regime.As the conflict in the Middle East continues, internal repression in Iran intensifies
.The country is facing not only an external crisis, but also a profound human rights crisis.
And, as international organizations warn, the human cost continues to grow day by day.
