At the European Parliament, Brussels, 10 Dec 2025: #Iran - Human Rights, Accountability, and the Role of the #EU event. Dr Mark Ellis directed his remarks to the brave #Iranians being persecuted by the Iranian regime, calling on the international community to bring greater attention to their plight:
Thank you Julie. Mohammad Javad faces execution simply for taking part in peaceful protests for democracy in Iran. #StopExecutionsInIran
An X post shows two images of a young man with dark eyes and hair, wearing a blue T-shirt in one picture and the other is a black-and-white photo of him in boxing gear. The text says Ron Supreme Court just upheld the death sentence for boxing Champion Muhammad Javad Vafaei Sani, 30, punishing him for supporting the Democratic opposition.
Adding my voice to those calling for the immediate halt of the planned execution of Mohammad Javad Vafaei, an Iranian boxing champion and coach who faces death for his political beliefs.
The death penalty has no place in the civilized world.
Maryam Hassani says her family was not informed in advance of her father's execution today. Mehdi Hassani & Behrouz Ehsani were executed for "waging war on God" & membership in the MEK.
The UN's @drmaisato.bsky.social must speak out to save other prisoners on death row. @agnescallamard.bsky.social
🚨 This morning, Behrouz Ehsani & Mehdi Hassani were executed in Iran. They were charged with the bogus crime of 'waging war on God' over their membership in the PMOI (MEK).
We appeal to @drmaisato.bsky.social to ACT NOW to save dozens of other political prisoners on death row. #StopExecutionsInIran

🚨 Iran’s State Media Calls for Repetition of #1988Massacre
Fars News' article–“Why the 1988 Executions Should Be Repeated”–not only justifies and glorifies crimes against humanity, but also incites future atrocity crimes.
@drmaisato.bsky.social must urgently speak out

Thank you Anna for supporting the right of the women, and men, of Iran to live in freedom and democracy. #NCRIAlternative
I spoke about the oppression of women in Iran with two activists 🇮🇷
It was a powerful reminder that, even in the face of oppression, women are leading the way, standing up and speaking out.
Women’s rights are rights and I stand with those fighting for them.

Since April 21, the brutal wave of executions continues — at least 66 people hanged in 2 weeks, averaging 1 every 6 hours. On April 28 alone, 9 prisoners were executed across 3 prisons. No fair trials. No final visits.

I join >300 experts appeal to #UN to intervene to stop executions of political prisoners in #Iran, Behrouz Ehsani & Mehdi Hassani. 'Iran’s crackdown on political prisoners flagrantly violates int #humanRights law, including rights to #fairTrial & freedom from #torture.' iran1988.org/appeal-to-sa...
The creeping despotism of Western liberalism begins with attacks on the rule of law. It ends with executive impunity, aided by a client judiciary, flaunting its brutality through political murder. I’m proud to be part of this vital campaign to shine a light on the crimes of the Iranian regime.
"We stand in solidarity with Iran’s political prisoners and their families and are committed to amplifying their voices until justice is achieved."
I join 300+ UN experts in an appeal to the UN to save political prisoners in Iran from execution iran1988.org/appeal-to-sa...

With SR Iran and SR EJEs, I call on Iran to halt the execution of Behrouz Ehsani & Mehdi Hassani, whose death sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court, following trials reportedly marred by torture and forced confessions.
@UN_SPExperts are in contact with Iranian authorities on this matter.

Speakers:

➡️ Tahar Boumedra, President of Justice for the Victims of the 1988 Massacre in Iran
➡️ Sara Hossain, Chair of UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran
➡️ Bruno Scholl, Head of Iran Division at EEAS (2/3)
These cases highlight ongoing concerns about the Islamic Republic of Iran’s use of the death penalty. I will be monitoring this situation closely. The international community must not remain silent.
The cost of executions extends far beyond those executed—devastating families, traumatising fellow prisoners, affecting prison staff, and creating cycles of anguish throughout communities. The emotional toll is immeasurable.
I've raised alarm about conditions in Evin prison in my last HRC report. I remain concerned by reports of the prison being in a volatile situation following prisoner transfers, creating a dangerous environment.
#Iran: Very concerned by reports of five political prisoners being forcibly transferred from Evin Prison's Ward 4 to Qezel Hesar Prison. All five men are on death row.

As Chair of the Delegation for Relations with the People of #Iran, I'm convinced 🇪🇺 must stop sending mixed signals to the Iranian regime. It’s time for clear, coordinated action: targeted sanctions, real accountability & unwavering support for those who fight for freedom and dignity in Iran (1/2)
