Executions in Iran: Protest Against the Regime's Show of Force
In the Iranian city of Isfahan, two demonstrators—28-year-old Amir-Hossein Safari and 23-year-old Abolfazl Sepahi—were publicly executed on Tuesday morning at Alikhani Square, the site where security forces were killed during the January mass uprising. The executions were intended as a show of force and deterrent. Hundreds of people gathered to protest the hangings, but security forces used tear gas and opened fire, reportedly killing a young psychology student. According to Iran Human Rights, Iran has carried out at least 424 death sentences this year, with over 50 demonstrators executed. Three other men—Ali Daschti, Amir-Hossein Maleki, and Ghaem Hosseini—face imminent execution in connection with the same trial. The article highlights the regime's use of public executions and the ongoing civil society resistance against the death penalty.
