Three-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje\u2019i unleashed a furious tirade on April 30, 2026, before senior judiciary officials, broadcast live through the regime\u2019s Mizan News Agency. \u201cThe political and propaganda apparatus of the aggressor enemy says that such-and-such criminal should not be punished and executed,\u201d he thundered<\/a>. \u201cWho are you to make such statements?! You are wrong to say that a criminal whose hands are stained with the blood of our dear people\u2026 should not be executed.\u201d He vowed the judiciary would \u201ccarry out any punishment permitted by law\u201d with \u201cno attention\u201d to outside criticism and ordered the rapid identification, trial, and execution of anyone labeled \u201cenemy foot soldiers,\u201d both inside Iran and among the diaspora.<\/p>\n

Eje\u2019i explicitly demanded faster issuance and enforcement of death sentences, asset seizures, and full publicizing of every stage of proceedings. The timing was deliberate: it came one day after the United Nations issued urgent appeals to halt the killing spree.<\/p>\n

Global Outrage Ignored as Executions Surge<\/h2>\n

On April 29, 2026, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker T\u00fcrk condemned<\/a> the regime\u2019s crackdown in the starkest terms. Since the start of joint Israeli-US operations in late February, Iranian authorities had executed at least 21 people and arrested more than 4,000 on national-security charges. Among the victims: nine linked to the January 2026 protests and ten PMOI-led Resistance Units<\/a> members executed for being active in underground network that organizes defiance inside Iran. T\u00fcrk declared himself \u201cappalled\u201d that, atop the suffering of war, the regime was stripping rights through unfair trials, torture, and coerced confessions. He demanded an immediate halt to all executions, a moratorium on the death penalty, full due-process guarantees, and the release of arbitrarily detained prisoners.<\/p>\n

UN Special Rapporteur on Iran Mai Sato echoed these concerns, highlighting asset seizures of hundreds of citizens (including diaspora Iranians) and the prolonged internet blackout.<\/p>\n

Eje\u2019i dismissed the entire international outcry with open contempt. Framing it as \u201crhetoric of the arrogant ones and their propaganda loudspeakers,\u201d he insisted the judiciary would show \u201cno leniency\u201d and would not be dictated to by foreign pressure or domestic critics. Sentences, he repeated, must be issued and carried out \u201csooner.\u201d<\/p>\n
