.@volker_turk deplores the execution of two more people in Iran. Since the military escalation began, at least 34 people have been executed on political & national security charges, including in the context of the January protests. It is unacceptable that the Iranian authorities are instrumentalising the current conflict to further stifle dissent. The UN Human Rights Chief urges Iranian authorities to promptly impose a total moratorium on the death penalty.
