“The overall picture of the human rights situation in Iran remains grim,” the Special Rapporteur on the state of human rights in Iran told the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee on October 25. Professor, offered an overview of some of the most significant concerns regarding Iran’s human rights situation, with a focus on concerns about the legal foundation and application of the death penalty.
Iran killed 28 prisoners in November 2021
“In the Islamic Republic of Iran, the death penalty continues to be used at an alarming rate,” Prof. Rehman said, adding that “the lack of official statistics and transparency surrounding executions means that this practice escapes scrutiny, resulting in serious abuses and preventing accountability.”
According to sources, at least 28 prisoners were killed in various Iranian jails in November 2021. Two ladies and a child offender were among those executed. The executed convicts range in age from 23 to 56 years old. Kerman Central, Central Mashhad, Central Zahedan, Central Isfahan, Gohardasht, Central Yasuj, Central Qazvin, Central Qom, Central Rasht, Central Shiraz, and Ghezel Hesar were all places where people were executed.” The presidential elections in June of this year emphasized this point.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): “The situation is exacerbated by the fact that people accused of committing serious human rights violations continue to hold powerful positions in government, including at the highest levels.

Mr. Rehman went on to remark that the use of lethal force against unarmed protestors is “characteristic of the authorities’ approach to the exercise of the right to peaceful assembly.”

“In July of this year, we witnessed the use of lethal force against unarmed people in a desperate situation protesting a severe lack of a basic right – the right to water – in the province of Khuzestan.” At least nine people were murdered, including one child, as a result of the authorities’ use of live bullets, and a large number were injured. Monitoring the incident was difficult because the internet was down and access to information was restricted. “The use of lethal force against protesters in Khuzestan is the latest in a long line of similar incidents, including the iconic case during the nationwide protests in 2019, which resulted in at least 304 deaths and continues to be marked by impunity.”
