Amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions, activists warn the regime may use the conflict to silence dissent, with hundreds facing death sentences and 100 already condemned. The EU is urged to demand a moratorium in any diplomatic talks. This week alone, five more were hanged, including Aref Khoshkar—a key figure in the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement—tortured for years, his brother threatened with rape to force a confession, and executed before his family could seek forgiveness. Of the 370, 55 were for national security, including 18 protesters and 13 from banned groups, while Mohammad Amini Dehaghani’s execution brings the total of protesters killed since March to 21.
