Rate of
executions rising in Iran
|
The UK Representative of the National Council of
Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has said that the rate of executions is rising during Hassan Rouhani’s presidency despite his claim to ‘moderation’. In an interview with the
ncr-iran.org website on Tuesday 26 April Dowlat Nowrouzi said that recent visits to Tehran by European leaders had not lead to any improvement of the human rights situation in Iran.
Officials from Italy, France and Austria have all engaged with the Iranian government since the start of the year and a new, reduced sanctions framework. Federica Mogherini, the High Representative for the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, was in Tehran at the time of two executions. Mogherini and seven other commissioners were meeting to discuss trade agreements and increased co-operation.
