Breathing in Confinement<\/strong> \u2013 The Statistical Center of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran has published its report on human rights violations in Iran over the past month. According to this report, at least 83 prisoners were executed<\/strong> in the past month \u2014 marking a 167% increase<\/strong> compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n

In the past month, coinciding with the twelve-day war between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel<\/strong>, an unprecedented wave of domestic repression and systematic human rights violations unfolded in Iran. While public attention, both domestic and international, was focused on the military conflict and its regional consequences, Iranian authorities seized the opportunity to intensify domestic suppression. This wave of repression simultaneously targeted multiple layers of society \u2014 from political and civil activists to journalists, artists, students, and even social media users.<\/p>\n

According to official statements by Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, Chief Justice of Iran, more than 2,000 people were arrested<\/strong> across the country during this period. However, independent human rights sources report significantly higher numbers and emphasize that many detainees were held without access to legal counsel<\/strong>, under unlawful conditions<\/strong>, subjected to intensive interrogations<\/strong>, and in some cases, torture<\/strong>. A large portion of these arrests were related to expression of opinions, criticism of militaristic policies, or revealing internal realities on social media.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, a new wave of executions<\/strong>, floggings, lengthy prison sentences<\/strong>, and physical and psychological punishments<\/strong> against political prisoners gained momentum. Numerous reports have also emerged of cut communication and visitations<\/strong>, and deprivation of medical care<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Evidence suggests that during this period, the Islamic Republic employed a strategy of \u201ccreating an external crisis to block internal dissent,\u201d<\/strong> using the security climate resulting from the war to escalate planned and violent repression<\/strong> of opponents, critics, and ordinary citizens. Repression within prisons \u2014 including raids on political wards<\/strong>, prolonged solitary confinement<\/strong>, and deprivation of basic human rights<\/strong> \u2014 was part of this systematic policy.<\/p>\n

This report aims not only to document and analyse the widespread human rights violations over the past month, but also to highlight the international community\u2019s responsibility<\/strong> to address the human rights situation in Iran \u2014 a situation that stems not only from the regime\u2019s militaristic policies but reflects a long-standing, structural, and deliberate<\/strong> pattern of citizen suppression.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, while expressing deep concern over the escalating trend of human rights violations in Iran, calls on the international community and human rights institutions to take urgent and effective action to safeguard lives, confront the wave of repression, and stop the surge in executions.<\/strong><\/p>\n
