Canada Condemns Executions

Canada has condemned the Islamic Republic’s continued execution of protesters, declaring that Iranians must be able to exercise freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear of retaliation. The statement followed the public hanging of Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi in Isfahan’s Alikhani Square. The two men had been arrested in connection with the January uprising. Human-rights organizations have raised serious concerns about closed proceedings, forced confessions, torture allegations, and denial of meaningful access to legal counsel. Eight other young defendants in the same case reportedly remain under death sentences. Canada’s condemnation is important, but the families waiting for news of their loved ones need governments to turn statements into immediate diplomatic pressure against further executions.
