Eurojournalist Report Highlights Geneva Conference Urging UN Action on Iran’s Execution Crisis
This news report reflects the coverage of the Geneva conference published on Maryam Rajavi’s website, originally sourced from Eurojournalist. A high-level conference held on Wednesday at the Maison Internationale des Associations in Geneva brought together UN experts, Swiss parliamentarians, and eyewitnesses to address what participants described as an unprecedented escalation of executions in Iran. The event followed the UN General Assembly Third Committee’s recent adoption of a resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran, passed with 79 votes in favor. Speakers included former UN Special Rapporteurs Javaid Rehman, Tahar Boumedra, Jeremy Sarkin, Alfred de Zayas, former Geneva Mayor Remy Pagani, and several members of the Geneva Parliament. The keynote address was delivered online by Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
Poverty Has Removed Meat Consumption from Tables in Iran
An analysis of global data shows that the people of Iran, due to the Iranian regime’s bankrupt economic policies, rank at the bottom of global meat-consumption levels. Analytical reports based on data from international organizations show that per-capita meat consumption in Iran has fallen to one of the lowest levels globally. While many countries have stable access to adequate animal protein, people in Iran—under economic pressure and the regime’s destructive policies—have been forced to remove meat from their diets. According to statistics published by the United Nations, people in Tonga consume an average of 148 kilograms of meat annually, with Mongolia ranking second at 132 kilograms. Meat consumption in the United States and Hong Kong stands at about 123 kilograms.
Iran Faces an Alarming Surge in Cancer as Environmental Decline and Policy Failures Deepen the Crisis
Iran is confronting a rapidly escalating cancer crisis that has triggered urgent warnings from medical experts and even members of the regime itself. The sharp rise in new cases, the steep drop in age of diagnosis, and the growing difficulty of accessing essential medicine have converged into what specialists describe as “a serious alarm for the future of public health.” The crisis has intensified alongside worsening environmental pollution, declining food quality, the early onset of tobacco use, and chronic failures in health policy. In one of the strongest official reactions to date, Hossein Emami-Rad, a regime MP from Chenaran, Torghabeh, Shandiz, and Golbahar, called on Masoud Pezeshkian to immediately form a national task force for cancer prevention and control. In his letter, he demanded expanded free screening, improved access to standard medications, and strengthened preventive programs. Drawing on data from the Ministry of Health, he warned that nearly 390 people in Iran are diagnosed with cancer every day and around 200 die—figures he described as equivalent to “a passenger plane crash every day.”
