Iran's Execution Epidemic: A Threat to Human Rights and Global Stability The recent surge in executions in Iran is a stark reminder of the country's disregard for human rights.
At least 56 people have been executed on national security related charges since March, with many more at risk of joining them on death row.
This alarming trend has drawn attention from UN human rights chief Volker Tüerk, who has urged Iranian authorities to halt all executions and work towards abolishing the death penalty altogether.
