11 prisoners executed in Iran in last two days

Eleven prisoners were executed in Iran over the past two days, AzVision.az reports, citing the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

Ali Khamenei’s henchmen hanged four prisoners on November 5. On the previous day, November 4, seven prisoners were sent to the gallows.

Executions were carried out in prisons in Iran's Yazd, Jiroft, Kermanshah, Kahnouj, and Shiraz, as well as Urmia and Hamadan cities.

As a result, the number of recorded executions since July, when the regime’s current president, Massoud Pezeshkian, took office, has reached at least 411, marking an 85% increase compared to the same period last year, which saw 222 executions. The number of executions over the past two weeks has reached at least 64.

Yesterday, political prisoners in 24 prisons went on hunger strike as part of the 41st week of the “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign.
