Iran under the mullahs\u2019 regime has long maintained the world\u2019s highest rate of executions per capita.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Estimates for the total number of executions in all categories are somewhat varied on account of the Iranian regime judiciary\u2019s well-known secrecy in such matters. While some executions are publicly announced, many others are revealed to international human rights defenders only through the efforts of Iranian activists, including those being held as political prisoners. Based in part on their disclosures, the latest three executions pushed the total for 2021 to more than 240 individuals, or possibly near to 300.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The number of executions in 2021 has already surpassed the total for 2020, with more than two months to go until the end of the year. The gap between those two totals will widen a great deal more, in the continuation of patterns that took hold just prior to the inauguration of the regime\u2019s president <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/iran-who-is-ebrahim-raisi\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"To Stop Executions in Iran Permanently, World Should Hold Mullahs to Account for 1988 Massacre\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_6f5tv2zu1AY\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F6f5tv2zu1AY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6f5tv2zu1AY\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M11S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-08-26T05:45:36Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_6f5tv2zu1AY\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F6f5tv2zu1AY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">To Stop Executions in Iran Permanently, World Should Hold Mullahs to Account for 1988 Massacre<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6f5tv2zu1AY\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F6f5tv2zu1AY%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"To Stop Executions in Iran Permanently, World Should Hold Mullahs to Account for 1988 Massacre\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"To Stop Executions in Iran Permanently, World Should Hold Mullahs to Account for 1988 Massacre #Iran #1988Massacre #HumanRights The Iranian regime executed a woman and three men on August 18. Previously, on August 5, Mostafa Salehy, who was detained in the 2018 major Iran protests was executed. The mullahs\u2019 incessant executions and human rights violations will continue as long as they enjoy impunity over 1988 massacre of political prisoners. Executions in Iran are a political tool for the mullahs to maintain their grasp on power. The regime\u2019s founder, Ruhollah Khomeini, ordered the massacre of all political prisoners, mostly members and supporters of PMOI\/ MEK, who refused to succumb to the regime\u2019s demands. 30,000 innocent prisoners were executed only for preserving their ideas. Since the 1988 massacre, the regime has never stopped its human rights violations. killing over 1500 protesters during the major Iran protests in November 2019, indicate how the mullahs use execution and repression to prolong their rule. These events also confirm how the mullahs enjoy and use their impunity over the 1988 massacre as a license to kill and further brutalize the Iranian society. many of the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre \u2013 such as Ebrahim Raisi, current head of the regime\u2019s Judiciary \u2013 hold top positions in the regime. Now, to end the regime\u2019s ongoing human rights violations, the world community should hold the mullahs to account for the 1988 massacre and end their impunity. This will also help the Iranian people in their quest for freedom and democracy. The world community has an opportunity to stand with the people of Iran. The United Nations and its members should take action regarding the 1988 massacre during the upcoming UN General Assembly in September.

For several months beginning in November 2019, he oversaw key aspects of a crackdown on popular protests, including the systematic torture of thousands of political detainees. The regime\u2019s initial response to the uprising killed over <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-iran-protests-specialreport-idUSKBN1YR0QR\" rel=\"noopener\">1,500 people<\/a> in a matter of days and underscored the fact that formal executions only account for a portion of the deaths attributable to security forces and the judiciary each year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The first reports of 1,500 shooting deaths came from the People\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener\">Mojahedin<\/a> Organization of Iran and were later confirmed by Reuters, citing multiple sources inside Iran\u2019s Interior Ministry. No definitive account has ever been provided, however, about the number of excess deaths attributable to torture at the hands of Raisi\u2019s judiciary. It is possible that the number is still increasing as a result of Iranian prison officials denying inmates access to treatment for the health effects of the wounds they suffered under interrogation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This denial of medical treatment is a tactic of extrajudicial pressure that is frequently referenced in reports on Iran\u2019s human rights abuses. Opportunities to exert that pressure have naturally multiplied in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which has hit Iranian prisons especially hard. Regime authorities have continued admitting new detainees without quarantine procedures, leading to several instances in which entire wards have been overrun with infection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Furthermore, political prisoners were explicitly excluded from receiving offers of furlough, showing that Covid-19 was being deliberately used as a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/covid-19-in-iran-a-blessing-or-a-national-catastrophe\/\" rel=\"noopener\">weapon<\/a> against prisoners. This is in line with other tactics that regime authorities have used to intimidate political prisoners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While guidelines for Iranian prisons mandate the separation of prisoners according to factors like the nature of their crimes, the political detainees are regularly housed with violent offenders, and prison officials have even been known to entice those violent offenders into attacking prisoners of conscience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Also read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/blog\/op-ed\/recent-executions-in-iran-point-to-likely-upsurge-in-general-human-rights-abuses\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Recent Executions in Iran Point To Likely Upsurge in General Human Rights Abuses<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/irans-rising-number-of-executions-sign-of-systematic-impunity\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Iran\u2019s Rising Number of Executions: Sign of Systematic Impunity<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/ongoing-executions-show-impunity-reigns-supreme-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Ongoing Executions Show Impunity Reigns Supreme in Iran<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One such incident was reported earlier this month in Greater Tehran Penitentiary. Officials locked the doors of the prison cafeteria ahead of a riot, allowing prisoners to stage an attack with knives, which led to five political detainees being hospitalized. Such incidents raise concerns about a possible increase in the death toll among detained activists and dissidents, who account for at least nine of this year\u2019s executions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Of course, those concerns were already well established as soon as it became clear that Ebrahim Raisi was to take over the presidency while his deputy, Gholamhossein <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/ebrahim-raisi\/who-is-gholamhossein-mohseni-ejei-irans-new-judiciary-chief\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Mohseni Ejei<\/a>, was to take over the leadership of the judiciary. Both men have a long history of human rights abuses, particularly abuses aimed at the violent suppression of dissent. Raisi\u2019s presidential candidacy was dogged by protests among the Iranian people and Iranian expatriate communities, which labeled him as the \u201chenchman\u201d or \u201cbutcher\u201d of 1988.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the summer of that year, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/the-1988-massacre-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">30,000 political<\/a> prisoners, mostly members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin, were put to death after being briefly interrogated by a \u201cdeath commission\u201d and refusing to demonstrate fealty to the theocratic system. Raisi was one of four officials to sit on the death commission in Tehran, and in recent years he has openly defended his role. His successive appointments to the judiciary and the presidency have been identified as representative examples of the regime\u2019s tendency to reward human rights abusers. As long as this trend remains unchallenged, it will embolden more abuses and more killings, both via formal execution and other means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three more prisoners were executed in Iran on Monday, contributing to a much larger pattern of multiple executions being carried out on the same day, often in the same prison.
