Kurdistan Human Rights Network

Human rights groups are raising alarm over the deteriorating health of a Kurdish political prisoner held in Evin Prison in Tehran. The Kurdistan Human Rights Network reports growing concern about his condition and is calling for urgent medical attention and accountability from Iranian authorities.

Iran has executed two men on drug-related charges at a prison in Karaj, according to human rights monitors. The Kurdistan Human Rights network reported the hangings, adding to a documented pattern of executions for narcotics offences in Iran, which rights groups say fall short of fair-trial standards and are frequently carried out without international attention.
