"Peyvand Naimi has been detained for more than a month in solitary confinement, appeared in a televised forced confession, and has undergone two mock hangings, beatings, interrogation, psychological torture and starvation."
"His family insists he has done nothing wrong and that no formal charges have been made, while he has been denied access to a lawyer and faces fears of execution."
"At least 145 people are confirmed to have been killed in 2026 so far, with an additional 400-plus executions reported but not verified, according to Iran Human Rights."
"The internet shutdown makes it impossible to determine exactly how many executions have been carried out this year, as many death sentences have not been officially announced."
Peyvand Naimi has been detained for over a month in solitary confinement, subjected to torture, and forced to confess on television. He is accused of involvement in protest-related deaths and celebrating a former leader's death, but his family claims he is innocent and has not been formally charged. Concerns grow over a surge in executions in Iran, with at least 145 confirmed deaths in 2026 and additional unverified executions. Recent public hangings of protest-related convicts have raised alarms about the country's human rights situation.
