International condemnation of death sentences for six Iranian political prisoners<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s recent death sentences for six political prisoners<\/a>, reportedly linked to the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>), have triggered international outrage. These individuals, including Abolhassan Montazer and Pouya Ghobadi, faced severe torture during their detention in Tehran\u2019s Evin Prison, leading to their sentencing on charges like \u201cwaging war against God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Human rights organizations and political figures across Europe, Australia, and European parliamentary committees have condemned these rulings. Notable groups and individuals have issued urgent calls for action, emphasizing the need for international intervention to halt these executions.
They argue that the Iranian judiciary\u2019s actions represent a systematic use of fear to suppress dissent and violate international human rights laws, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).<\/p>\n

Several parliamentary groups and advocacy organizations have urged the United Nations to:<\/p>\n

1- Publicly denounce these sentences.<\/p>\n

2- Demand the unconditional release of all political prisoners in Iran.<\/p>\n

3- Activate investigative mechanisms to address Tehran\u2019s broader patterns of repression.<\/p>\n

The coordinated global response reflects growing concerns about Iran\u2019s increasing use of capital punishment as a tool of political control, highlighting the urgent need for global action.<\/p>\n
