The official death count declared by the regime stands at 23,313, around a fifth of the actual figure. \u201cIn Qom during the past two days there has been a new increase. In Tabriz we are having a new escalation and in Tehran we are witnessing an increase in the number of people hospitalized during the past two days,\u201d said regime Health Minister Saeid Namaki on Sunday. \u201cI hope that these new increases will not engulf us in a devastating dilemma,\u201d he added, according to state TV. UN Experts: Condemn Iran Regime&#039;s Execution of Navid Afkari UN human rights experts today strongly condemned the summary execution of champion wrestler Navid Afkari in Iran, raising alarm at the latest execution in a series of death penalty sentences handed down in the context of protests in 2018 and 2019. &quot;It is deeply disturbing that the authorities appear to have used the death penalty against an athlete as a warning to its population in a climate of increasing social unrest,\u201d the experts said, while sending their condolences to Navid Afkari\u2019s family. \u201cSuch flagrant disregard for the right to life through summary executions is not only a matter of domestic concern. We call on the international community to react strongly to these actions by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Authorities Threaten Political Prisoners to Remain Silent or Be Executed Iranian regime authorities have threatened three death row political prisoners arrested during the November 2019 protests to remain silent or be executed, reports indicate. On Saturday, following the execution of Iranian hero Navid Afkari, reports indicate that Mohammad Bara\u2019e, a judge in the Iranian regime\u2019s judicial system, visited a section of the Greater Tehran Penitentiary for the first time. In this inspection he warned three political prisoners to remain silent about their conditions. If they leak information about their conditions and refuse to remain silent, their death sentences will be carried out, the so-called judge threatened.
