Legal Concerns Rise Over Iran Protest Sentences
Human rights organizations have expressed their concern over the Iranian authorities' preparations to carry out more executions of young men accused of participating in the protests in Iran that began in January. Recently, Iran has carried out executions at a pace approaching one per week, including public executions in Isfahan. The "Iran Human Rights" organization stated that the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence against Binyamin Naqdi (26 years old), who was accused of participating in the Shiraz protests. The sentence was issued after his arrest on charges of throwing a fire extinguisher at security forces, relying on forced confessions. Additionally, UN experts warned that the Iranian authorities appear determined to suppress the opposition broadly amid increasing human rights deterioration.
