In a shocking display of brutality, the Iranian regime executed at least 22 individuals across various prisons within a span of three days, coinciding with Christmas celebrations. Between December 24 and 26, during a time symbolizing peace and compassion, these executions were carried out with complete disregard for human dignity.

Tragic Suicides in Custody
Beyond the executions, the oppressive conditions in Iranian prisons led to further tragedies. On Wednesday, December 25, Mohammad Kushki, a prisoner on death row, committed suicide in Ghezel Hesar Prison due to severe pressure from guards. Similarly, on Monday, December 23, Mehdi Khodayari, a 28-year-old detainee, succumbed to injuries after being tortured in Evin Prison.
Alarming Escalation Under the New Administration
Since the appointment of the regime’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, in July, approximately 672 individuals have been executed. This alarming statistic highlights the intensification of systematic violence under his administration. By employing mass executions and repressive measures, the Iranian regime continues to destroy countless lives and devastate families, leaving children without a future.
A Call to Action for the International Community
The Iranian regime’s blatant disregard for human rights, as evidenced by these mass executions and inhumane practices, necessitates urgent international action. The global community must:
Isolate the regime internationally: End policies of appeasement and take a firm stance against such violations.
Hold perpetrators accountable: Prosecute those responsible for decades of crimes, including genocide and war crimes.
Defend human rights: Advocate for the Iranian people’s rights and push for measures to halt further atrocities.
Conclusion
The regime’s actions over the past 46 years, characterized by oppression and violence, must no longer go unchecked. It is imperative that the world unites to demand justice and accountability, ensuring that such egregious violations are met with decisive and meaningful consequences.
