The trend has worsened under the presidency of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/who-is-masoud-pezeshkian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massoud Pezeshkian<\/a>, with 386 executions in just the first three months of his tenure\u2014far exceeding annual figures in previous years. Among those executed was Reza Rasaei, a political dissident arrested during the November 2022 uprising in Shahriar, Tehran Province.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIran holds the grim record for the highest number of political executions and per capita killings globally,\u201d stated the mayors, noting how these actions, carried out in the name of religion, serve as tools for spreading fear and suppressing dissent. The mayors condemned these executions as inherently political and called for stronger international action to counteract this systematic repression.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udce2 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Breaking?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Breaking<\/a> Over 580 French mayors sign a declaration supporting <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@iran_policy<\/a>&#39;s president-elect, Mrs. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Maryam_Rajavi<\/a> \u2019s call to end executions in Iran, citing UN reports of the regime&#39;s crimes against humanity.<br \/>The statement condemns the regime\u2019s political use of executions to\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lrKptJRzoV\">pic.twitter.com\/lrKptJRzoV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SIMAY AZADI TV (@en_simayazadi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/en_simayazadi\/status\/1861462524308119566?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 26, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mayors expressed their full support for Maryam Rajavi\u2019s call to end executions in Iran, praising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavis-ten-point-plan-for-future-iran\/\">her Ten-Point Plan<\/a> for a democratic future that includes the abolition of the death penalty. \u201cWe endorse and support Maryam Rajavi\u2019s firm commitment to abolish capital punishment as outlined in her roadmap for Iran\u2019s future,\u201d they stated.
