According to HRANA English documentation: there were over 900 executions in 2024. Horrendous and inexcusable. How will #Iran answer to these state-sponsored killings in its upcoming review at the #UNHRC ?

Of all the lies the Iranian delegation has spewed so far today, it’s the Dep Minister for Media etc. who has so far taken the cake, spinning a fictional tale of media freedom, access to information, and respect for journalists. His stories were almost impossible for me to stomach

I hardly think it’s appropriate for an American government official to refer to American civil servants—who often risk their lives to save others and for modest pay at that—"the opposing team."

This is a wildly unhinged thing to say about people who have dedicated their lives to: -preventing famine -reducing conflict -combatting terrorism -promoting democracy The admins obsession with personal power and grievance is making Americans significantly less safe.

I spoke to Deepa Parent about the inherent dangers of the Nazer app in #Iran — Including how it reinforces gender-based discrimination and empowers a culture of fear— its flaws also raise serious concerns about wrongful arrests and detentions. theguardian.com/global-develop…

I remember when these targeted sanctions tools were used against arms dealers & narco traffickers. Now it seems UN special rapporteurs are being targeted for travel bans & asset freezes? This is political theater and an unbecoming use of the power and impact of these tools.

Iran’s recent crackdown on foreign nationals has also targeted Afghans legally residing in the country. Ahmad-Reza Radan, head of FARAJA, the entity leading this crackdown, is responsible for the violation of the rights of these legally residing Afghans. He’s sanctioned (US/EU)

For the fourth consecutive day, hundreds of prisoners in Karaj’s Ghezel Hesar Prison continue their hunger strike to protest the surge in executions. Families of death-row inmates have also gathered outside the prison, demanding a halt to executions. See details in HRANA’s

In the first 16 days of October, #Iran executed 119 individuals, including 3 women and 1 juvenile offender. 65 were convicted on drug-related charges. The pace of executions represents an alarming and unprecedented escalation in the state’s use of capital punishment.
