UN meeting in Geneva warns of execution surge in Iran
Original: Geneva UN Conference Warns of Execution Surge in Iran, Highlights Resistance Behind Bars and Across Society
A conference held in Geneva under UN auspices has warned of a sharp rise in executions in Iran and drawn attention to political prisoners and organised resistance both inside Iranian prisons and across Iranian society. Speakers linked the wave of hangings to the authorities' efforts to suppress dissent, and called on the international community to hold Tehran accountable and respond to the deteriorating human rights situation.
Why now: Rights groups and exiled opposition figures are drawing fresh attention to Iran's escalating use of the death penalty against dissidents.
