\"\" — Belgian Lawmakers Denounce Iran Executions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A coalition of notable Belgian figures<\/a> has condemned Iran\u2019s rising use of executions as a tool to silence dissent and spread fear. Citing Amnesty International, they emphasized that \u201cIran accounted for 74% of all recorded executions worldwide in 2023.\u201d The group noted a sharp increase in executions since President Masoud Pezeshkian<\/a>\u2019s tenure began, with over 100 prisoners, including political dissidents like Reza Rasaei<\/a>, executed in August 2024 alone.<\/p>\n
The statement, signed by prominent Belgian political figures, underscores its gravity. Among the signatories are a former Prime Minister, leaders of major political parties, nine parliamentary faction heads, and Chairs of key parliamentary committees, showing broad political agreement against Iran\u2019s human rights abuses.<\/p>\n
