UN rights chief alarms over Iran executions
The UN human rights chief has expressed concern over Iran’s recent increase in executions, including at least 56 since March 19 on national security charges linked to protests. Iran remains one of the world's leading executioners, with record-high figures last year, and continues to carry out executions for drugs and security offences, often with limited fair trial standards. The Iranian government has not commented, but defended its use of the death penalty for severe crimes.
