Joint E3 Leaders\u2019 Statement: 10 October 2025<\/h3>\n

\"UK-Gov-logo\"<\/p>\n

The leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom spoke today following the significant developments in the Middle East:<\/p>\n

We welcome the agreement on a ceasefire in the Middle East, the planned release of hostages, and the resumption of humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Gaza.<\/p>\n

Regarding Iran, we agree that it was right that the snapback mechanism had been triggered. Iran\u2019s nuclear program poses a serious threat to global peace and security. We are determined to reinitiate negotiations with Iran and the United States towards a comprehensive, durable and verifiable agreement that ensures Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.\u00a0 We call on all UN member states to abide by the restrictions reapplied by the snapback mechanism.<\/p>\n

Another Arms Shipment for the Houthis Intercepted by Opposition Faction<\/h3>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Factions opposing the Houthis have made yet another significant interception of Iranian-sourced arms destined for the Houthi militants. This time it happened off the southern coast of Yemen and further pressures the militants and their efforts.\u00a0The latest seizure follows two major interceptions of arms made by National Resistance Forces off the western coast in the Red Sea in May, and an interception of a mixed 750-ton cargo of arms, ammunition, missiles, and components made by the NRF in July, with all the material of Iranian origin. In Aden, two major seizures of arms and related machinery, all of Chinese manufacture, were made from containers searched in the Aden Free Port Zone on August 2 and in September. Chinese container hoists, to replace cranes destroyed in the port of Hodeidah by Israeli attacks, were intercepted in Lahj in August by Security Belt forces, and the same force made a major arms seizure later that month further to the East in Abyan.<\/p>\n

Death Penalty as Terror in Iran<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The day is being used to draw attention to the death penalty as a tool of repression.<\/p>\n

Iran is the country in the world that carries out the highest number of executions per capita. According to Amnesty International\u2019s annual report, the regime in Iran accounted for 64 percent of all recorded executions worldwide in 2024. The picture in 2025 is even more alarming: UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, Dr. Mai Sato, reports that the regime has executed around 1,000 people in just the first nine months of this year. In recent weeks, the number has averaged about nine executions per day.<\/p>\n

The UN and Amnesty International both confirm that the death penalty is being systematically used to intimidate the population and prevent protests against the regime. Since President Masoud Pezeshkian took office just over a year ago, nearly 2,000 people have been executed, including many women and members of minority groups such as Kurds and Baluchis.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: 9:00 AM CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran Is Repeating Its Bloodiest Chapter. Will the World Look Away?<\/h3>\n

\"pj-media-logo-vector\"<\/p>\n

The world knows that the Iranian regime is one of the most repressive on the planet. That\u2019s definitely no secret, but a group of dignitaries, including some from Republican and Democratic administrations, is warning that the situation in Iran is worse than most people thought.<\/p>\n

Seventeen dignitaries, including Newt Gingrich, Louis Freeh, Tom Ridge, and Alan Dershowitz, have signed an open letter highlighting how the Iranian regime is weaponizing the death penalty to choke out opposition. The letter highlights that Iran has executed 1,200 prisoners so far this year, with no end in sight. According to Amnesty International, Iran accounted for\u00a064% of all executions worldwide<\/a>\u00a0in 2024.<\/p>\n

1988 was a particular milestone for the evil of Iran\u2019s repressive regime. That year, Iran\u2019s leaders massacred 30,000 people, all of them political prisoners, and nine-tenths of them MEK members. This year doesn\u2019t hold a candle to that horrendous level of repression, but in July, Iran\u2019s state-run media called 1988 a \u201csuccessful historical experience\u201d that\u2019s worth repeating.<\/p>\n

Iranian Political Prisoner Ehsan Faridi Faces Imminent Execution<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a move that reveals the clerical regime\u2019s profound fear of organized opposition, the Supreme Court has upheld a death sentence for Ehsan Faridi, a 22-year-old university student. The verdict, based on fabricated charges and extracted confessions, is a desperate effort by the regime to control a restive society that desires change. Ehsan Faridi\u2019s case is a stark example of the regime\u2019s all-out war on the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), demonstrating its terror of a restive society and the growing influence of the organized Resistance among Iran\u2019s youth. His life now hangs in the balance, a symbol of the regime\u2019s brutal campaign to crush dissent by eliminating its most courageous voices.<\/p>\n

Breaking Barriers: The Struggle of the Iranian Girl Child<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Struggle of the Iranian Girl Child: Every year on October 11, the world marks the International Day of the Girl Child \u2014 a day dedicated to celebrating girls\u2019 rights and confronting the challenges they face. But in Iran, this global observance reveals one of the most urgent human rights crises of our time. Under Iran\u2019s clerical regime, girls face double discrimination \u2014 for being both young and female. Legal loopholes allow child marriage, with some girls forced into unions even before turning 13. Efforts to raise the marriage age have been repeatedly blocked by officials citing \u201creligious\u201d grounds. Meanwhile, girls as young as nine can be held criminally responsible under Iranian law. These policies strip girls of their rights and perpetuate a cycle of inequality, leaving many without education, freedom, or safety.<\/p>\n
