Executions And Grave Destruction Comply with Israel-Iran Battle

[ad_1] In response to a number of stories, together with a complete examine by the Heart for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI), Iran’s repressive, despotic Islamic regime has carried out a whole lot of executions in 2025. Greater than 100 of those befell in a wave of repression following the 12-day Israel–Iran battle. CHRI warns that 10 political prisoners face imminent execution, with almost 70 others at excessive danger.

“All after grotesquely flawed judicial proceedings marked by fabricated prices, lack of proof, denial of counsel and due course of rights, torture, and compelled false confessions—is a human rights emergency that the worldwide neighborhood must be aggressively addressing in all diplomatic channels and boards,” CHRI declared.

“A minimum of 730 folks have been executed in Iranian prisons over the previous seven months, together with 102 in July alone,” the Abdorrahman Boroumand Heart for Human Rights has reported, including, “The report was launched just a few days after the UN Human Rights Workplace mentioned not less than 612 folks had been executed within the first half of 2025, greater than double the quantity recorded in the identical interval final 12 months.”

“These executions in Iran are nothing lower than state-sanctioned murders based mostly on fabricated prices, coerced confessions, and secret proceedings,” CHRI government director Hadi Ghaemi mentioned. “They represent grave and irreversible human rights violations, and the absence of sustained worldwide strain has allowed the Islamic Republic to proceed these killings with impunity.”

As well as, the Iranian regime is trying to cowl up its crimes through the state massacres of the Eighties by paving over the graves of individuals the regime murdered. The regime is doing so by “constructing a car parking zone over Tehran’s Behesht Zahra cemetery the place lots of the our bodies had been dumped,” CHRI identified.

“Impunity for atrocities and crimes in opposition to humanity has been constructing for many years within the Islamic Republic,” Ghaemi mentioned. “There's a direct line between the massacres of the Eighties, the gunning down of demonstrators in 2009, and the mass killings of protesters in 2019 and 2022. The Islamic Republic has realized it could kill big numbers of its opponents—actual or imagined—at will and with none actual penalties. Till this ceases to be the case, this regime will proceed to hold out mass killings, within the streets and on the gallows.”

CHRI added:

By paving over these graves, the Islamic Republic is destroying essential proof of the atrocities it dedicated, comparable to in 1988, when it hanged and threw into mass graves some 5000 political prisoners, most of whom had been already sentenced and serving their jail sentences. Quite a few UN specialists have acknowledged these mass executions represent a criminal offense in opposition to humanity—and one during which there has by no means been any accountability by any official in Iran. Certainly, lots of the officers concerned went on to serve high-level positions within the Islamic Republic.

“For over 4 a long time, the Islamic Republic has assiduously gone after members of the family looking for justice for a lot of egregious state abuses—attempting to intimidate and silence them in order that they don’t publicize the state’s crimes and atrocities, or when they aren't profitable—punishing them with arbitrary arrest and detentions for attempting to carry state officers accountable for illegal deaths on the street, in state custody, or on the gallows,” CHRI asserted. “Destruction of grave websites and depriving the state’s victims and their households of the flexibility to mourn and memorialize, is only one amongst many ways in which the Islamic Republic has sought to erase its crimes, keep away from accountability, and punish those that search justice. The graves of the victims of state massacres through the Eighties usually are not the one ones the Iranian authorities have destroyed. The graves of different mass killings throughout and past the Eighties have additionally been bulldozed, constructed over, or used as a rubbish dump by the Islamic Republic.”
