UN investigators urge Iran to halt executions of 10 protest participants

Independent UN human rights investigators on Thursday called for Iran to immediately halt the execution of 10 men who took part in a protest in the central city of Isfahan earlier this year. The appeal was issued as the men faced execution linked to the protest activity described by the investigators.

The investigators warned that some relatives of the 10 men have already been called for final visits. The source gives no names, no court details, and no additional information on the proceedings beyond the fact that the men participated in the Isfahan protest.

The report is limited to the UN warning and the execution risk. It identifies Iran and Isfahan as the only confirmed locations and states that the men were involved in a protest earlier this year.

No further operational details, casualties, or outcomes are provided.
