Iranian families are reportedly fearful that a new wave of executions may be carried out in the country while the Western world is focused on Christmas celebrations. This concern comes after recent protests in the country over the September death of Mahsa Amini, who was detained by Iran’s morality police for alleged improper hijab wear.
Iranian authorities have reportedly already executed at least two individuals in connection with the protests that occurred in the country last month. One of these individuals was hanged in public. According to witness accounts and official documents, the judicial process in Iran appears to be rushed, with charges that could result in the death penalty often being decided upon in a single sitting. This suggests that the judicial system in Iran may not be thorough or fair in its handling of cases.
There are concerns among Iranian citizens that Amir Nasr-Azadani, a high-profile footballer, may be executed at Shahid Alikhani square, where an execution platform has been set up. This information comes from a witness in Iran who is reportedly close to Nasr-Azadani.
There are reports that at least 43 people, including Amir Nasr-Azadani, may be at risk of imminent execution.
