Iran has been accused of committing 'psychological torture' against the family of Mohammad Abbasi, a 55-year-old protester executed on Wednesday in Qezel Hesar prison, located in Karaj, Iran. His family was denied a final visit, only to be informed later by phone that he had been executed. The Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM) criticized this act as not only a violation of the Executive Regulations of the Prisons Organization but also an infringement of international standards for prisoners' rights. Abbasi was sentenced to death for allegedly attacking a security forces lieutenant during protests in January, which erupted in response to the regime's economic failures. Human rights groups assert that his confession was obtained under torture. As the family mourns, they also face the plight of Abbasi's daughter, Fatemeh, who has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for participating in the protests. The Iranian government has continued executing individuals arrested during the protests, with reports indicating that over 146 executions have occurred since the unrest began.
