Amnesty Urges ICC for Iran Hangings
Amnesty International has confirmed that Iranian authorities carried out arbitrary executions against five prisoners involved in the January 2026 uprising over the course of one week, from September 30 to October 5, in an attempt to spread fear and crush popular protests. These young men were executed in Isfahan, Mashhad, and Shahr-e Kord after sham trials in which they were subjected to torture and forced confessions—often based on televised confessions obtained under duress. The organization pointed to a surge in executions, with at least 34 people having been executed in connection with the uprising, amidst an ongoing campaign of repression involving lethal force. The organization urged the international community to act immediately to prosecute the Iranian officials responsible and to refer the case to the International Criminal Court, reaffirming its unequivocal opposition to the death penalty under all circumstances.
