Iranian authorities’ arbitrary execution of Amirhossein Ebrahimi Analojeh and Amirhossein Maleki on 3 November, convicted in relation to the January 2026 protests, is horrific. They were sentenced to death by a Revolutionary Court after a torture-tainted grossly unfair trial. 1/4
Iran’s authorities executed at least 34 people in connection to the Jan 2026 uprising after unfair trials. At least 20 others are at imminent risk of protest-related executions after the Supreme Court upheld their death sentences. Many more remain at risk. amnesty.org/en/documents/mde…
At least another 6 individuals are at imminent risk of execution from this same trial after the Supreme Court upheld their convictions and death sentences, namely: Abolfazl Ebrahimi, Ali Dashti, Javad Talebpour, Mehdi Eskandari, Sepehr Hounjani and Shervin Bagherian Jebeli. 3/4
At least 36 people have been executed in connection with the Jan uprising. Iran's authorities must halt all planned executions now, quash all death sentences & establish an official moratorium on executions w/a view to fully abolishing the death penalty4/4 amnesty.org/en/documents/mde…
