The resolution, approved by a large majority through a show of hands, reflects mounting frustration among European lawmakers over Tehran\u2019s increasing use of capital punishment to silence dissent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The resolution follows a heated debate in the European Parliament, where multiple Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) delivered impassioned speeches condemning the Iranian regime\u2019s systematic abuse of human rights. In their speeches, they particularly highlighted the cases of Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, both of whom were subjected to torture, denied fair trials, and sentenced to death in sham proceedings that lasted no more than five minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Petras Au\u0161trevi\u010dius<\/strong> emphasized that the Iranian regime continues to rely on mass executions and hostage diplomacy as tools of oppression.

This marked the first time an EU representative officially called on Tehran to prevent the executions, further highlighting the growing international condemnation of the regime\u2019s human rights abuses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, the resolution expressed grave concern over the regime\u2019s orchestrated assassination attempts abroad, specifically referencing the attempted killing of former Vice-President of the European Parliament Alejo Vidal-Quadras. This incident was cited as part of a broader pattern of targeting political dissidents and critics of the clerical regime, even on European soil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The resolution passed by the European Parliament includes a call for the immediate release of all political prisoners in Iran and the abolition of the death penalty.
