In July, events occurred in Iranian prisons that caused serious concern among human rights organizations. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to a report published by the human rights activists network HRANA, at least 160 prisoners were sentenced to death and executed during the past month. It was reported that three of them were publicly hanged.
The report also noted that judicial authorities have sentenced another 16 individuals to death. Additionally, the Supreme Court of Iran upheld four previously issued death sentences.
These incidents once again demonstrate the widespread use of the death penalty in the country. From the beginning of this year until the end of July, the number of executed prisoners has reached 818.
It is specifically highlighted that among them are 21 women. Human rights organizations have been condemning the Iranian government for excessive and often unjust application of the death penalty.
Moreover, they emphasize the lack of transparency in prisons, the weakness of prisoner rights protection, and that judicial processes do not fully meet the requirements of justice. These circumstances have led to increased criticism from the international community regarding Iran's penal policy.
