30 people in Iran face death penalty after protests, Amnesty says
AI Summary
Amnesty International reports that at least 30 people in Iran are facing the death penalty due to their involvement in recent mass protests. Eight individuals have already been sentenced to death, while two of the remaining 22 are minors. The Iranian judiciary has not confirmed these sentences, though state-linked media reported on a trial where three men could face execution for participating in riots. Amnesty International accuses Iranian authorities of using the death penalty to suppress dissent and instill fear within the population, who are demanding fundamental change. The organization highlights the expedited trials and disregard for due process in these cases.
