Mass Executions in Iran

Mass Executions in Iran

This needs more attention and should be top priority in this sub.

An unnamed person was sentenced to death by the Iranian courts for participating in the current anti-morality police protests/civil unrest for women's rights.

Human rights organizations are warning of hasty executions that was previously seen in the Bloody November uprising where over 1,500 men, women AND CHILDREN were executed, while Iranian officials only recognize ~350 initially. The numbers were murky for a while because the Iranian government cut off the internet for the entire country and many of the detained protesters were journalists.

There are currently over 15,000 persons detained in government custody for an undisclosed amount of time.

The EU is enacting new sanctions in response to the Iranian government's treatment of protesters and French President Macron recognized this uprising as a revolution, a continuation of the 70's civil unrest.

We need to amplify what's happening in Iran because it's getting drowned out of the spot light.
