The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) has condemned Iran’s latest wave of executions and called for immediate international action. The committee urged the international community to respond to what it described as a continuing campaign of repression and human rights violations.
BCFIF Condemns Recent Executions in Iran
The British Committee for Iran Freedom condemned the public executions of Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi in Isfahan, as well as the execution of PMOI member Mehdi Khanaki.
The committee described these executions as serious human rights violations and warned that the death penalty is being used as a tool of fear and intimidation.
Iran Executions Used as a Tool of Repression
According to the BCFIF statement, the increasing number of executions in Iran comes amid growing demands by the Iranian people for freedom, justice, and democratic change.
The committee said the use of executions reflects the authorities’ efforts to suppress dissent and prevent further protests and resistance.
Call for International Investigation and Accountability
BCFIF called for those responsible for the executions to be investigated and prosecuted, including officials involved in ordering, facilitating, or carrying out these actions.
The committee urged the international community to take immediate steps to prevent further executions and protect prisoners facing imminent execution.
BCFIF Urges UN and Governments to Take Action
The statement called on the United Nations, the European Union, democratic governments, and international human rights bodies to condemn Iran’s executions and take concrete measures.
BCFIF also called for an independent international fact-finding mission to investigate executions, torture, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, and other reported violations.
Demand to End Impunity Over Human Rights Violations
The committee stated that executions of individuals arrested during protests represent a form of political persecution.
BCFIF called for international accountability mechanisms to ensure that those responsible for serious violations are held accountable.
Conclusion: Urgent Action Needed Over Iran Executions
The British Committee for Iran Freedom concluded that continued silence and inaction would encourage further executions and repression.
The committee called for coordinated international action in support of the Iranian people and to hold the Iranian authorities accountable.
