United Nations experts reported on August 6 that Iranian authorities have executed at least 24 Baluchis and 22 Kurds so far this year. The experts issued a formal denunciation of these actions, highlighting a pattern of capital punishment targeting ethnic minorities within the country.
Beyond the confirmed executions, the UN representatives warned that a significant number of additional individuals from these minority groups remain at imminent risk of facing the death penalty. The experts have called on the Iranian government to immediately cease these executions.
