The theocratic regime in Tehran has been accused of serious violations of human rights and constitutional principles for years. On Tuesday, eight independent UN human rights experts published a joint statement in which they demanded that Iran “immediately stop” the execution. The Tabari case shows “a pattern of serious violations of international human rights law relating to fair trial guarantees, as well as the inappropriate use of the death penalty for broad and unclearly defined national security violations,” the statement said.
The mullahs’ regime is apparently becoming more and more ruthless. Between January and September of this year alone, more than 1,000 people are said to have been executed in the country. This is reported by the human rights organization Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO). Many of those executed did not receive a fair trial or were convicted on flimsy charges. The number of executions this year rose to a 30-year high.
The regime is particularly brutal against women. According to the Norway-based organization Iran Human Rights (IHR), more than 40 women have been executed in Iran this year alone. Just a few days ago, Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Nargis Mohammadi was arrested by security forces. The police used violence and Mohammadi suffered injuries to his head and neck, her brother Hamid Mohammadi told the AFP news agency. “We are very concerned about how she is being held, where she is being held and how she is being treated,” he said.
