Iran using execution as tactic to repress ethnic minorities, Amnesty warns
LONDON: Iran is executing members of ethnic minorities as a “tool of repression,” Amnesty International has claimed.
In a report published alongside Iranian human rights organization the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center, Amnesty said the regime had killed 14 Kurds, 13 Baluchis and an Ahwazi Arab among 94 people executed since the start of the year — and had condemned many more to death after “grossly unfair” trials.
