Iran executes more than 10 people every week – UN

The High Commissioner for Human Rights is concerned about the increasing number of executions and has called on the Iranian authorities to abolish the death penalty.

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is concerned about the large number of executions in Iran. This was reported on May 9 by the OHCHR press service.

At least 209 people have been killed since the beginning of the year.

“On average, more than 10 people have been killed every week in Iran this year… Last year, around 580 people were reported killed. This is a terrible record, especially when you consider growing consensus on the universal abolition of the death penalty,” said Supreme Volker Türk, UN Commissioner for Human Rights.

According to the organization, at least 45 people have been killed in the past 14 days alone, including 22 members of the Baloch minority. Most of the charges are drug-related.

“The introduction of the death penalty for drug-related crimes is incompatible with international standards and human rights standards,” Turk said.

It was previously reported that two men were executed in Iran for blasphemy.
