Iran Executes 3 Protesters For "Enmity Against God"
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2023-06-02

In Iran, three protesters accused of killing members of Iran's security forces during the recent anti-government uprisings were executed on May 19th, leading to widespread protests and international condemnation. Majid Kazemi, Saleh Mirhashemi, and Saeed Yaqoubi were executed after being charged with "enmity against God" for their alleged involvement in the deaths of two Basiji paramilitary members and a law enforcement officer. However, the Iranian government failed to provide conclusive evidence linking them to the incident. Concerned about their safety, family members gathered outside the Dastgerd prison in Isfahan, while crowds gathered in support outside the facility. The executions were criticized by human rights organizations, and demonstrations took place in Berlin, London, and Stockholm. Amnesty International claimed that confessions shown by Iranian state media were extracted under torture. The executions brought attention to Iran's increasing use of the death penalty, with over 220 executions reported in 2023 alone and more than 582 death sentences handed down in 2022. The European Union strongly condemned the executions and called on Iran to halt the practice of imposing death sentences on protesters.
