Iranian regime executes 12 prisoners in one week

Iranian regime continues executions in Iran. It carried out 12 death sentences between 12 and 19 December. According to reports, the regime has thus carried out 239 executions in 2020. However, there is a large number of blackouts because the regime and its media do not announce all executions.

Last week, the UN General Assembly expressed serious concern over the regime's widespread use and execution of the death penalty in violation of Iran's international obligations.

The UN General Assembly called on the regime to end executions and demanded that it ban public executions, the death penalty for minors, and torture and other cruel acts, both in law and in practice.
