The Islamic regime in Iran has escalated its use of death sentences, continuing to conduct irregular trials that undermine the legal rights of detainees. This week, Gholamreza Khani Shekarab was executed after being accused of being an operational leader for Mossad, with claims that he was involved in a plot to assassinate an Iranian rabbi. Another execution involved Mojtaba Kian, who was accused of providing military intelligence to networks linked to Israel and the United States, executed less than 50 days after his arrest. Additionally, four protesters were sentenced to death in a case related to the 2022 protests against the murder of Mahsa Amini, raising serious concerns about the legitimacy of the judicial process. The presiding judge, Abolghasem Salavati, has a notorious reputation for delivering severe sentences, and lawyers for the defendants have reported being excluded from the trial process, further questioning the fairness of these proceedings.
