32 Nations Condemn Iran Over Protest Executions

A coalition of 32 countries, including 29 European nations plus Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, issued a joint statement on Wednesday condemning Iran’s use of the death penalty against protesters. The group said Iran’s actions violate basic human rights. “The people of Iran must be free to exercise their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear,” the statement read. The condemnation follows recent executions linked to nationwide demonstrations. The signatories called on Tehran to halt such measures and respect international law. The statement did not specify further actions, but it signals growing diplomatic pressure on Iran’s government.
