Written by Shamsi Saadati Paris, France – On Saturday, May 17, 2025, an influential international conference convened in Paris, uniting parliamentarians and prominent political figures from a wide array of countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Malta, Switzerland, Romania, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The central theme of the gathering was the urgent need for a new, decisive international policy towards Iran, with a strong emphasis on supporting democratic change and recognizing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a viable alternative to the current regime. The event served as a significant platform for global lawmakers to voice their concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, the regime’s escalating domestic repression, its destabilizing regional activities, and its persistent pursuit of a nuclear program.

Human rights activists in Ahvaz are reporting that 22 people in various prisons in Ahvaz were hanged and that their families were informed of their execution.
The executions were reportedly carried out on Thursday November 8.
Official sources have yet to confirm the executions but many believethat the hangings were carried out secretly in retaliation to a Septemberattack against a government parade in this city.
Unofficial sources have identified four of those who were executed as Ahmad Alaboudi, Mohammad Momeni and two of his sons, Nesar and Asameh Momeni.
On September 24, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence issued a statement stating that 22 people were arrested in connection to the military parade attack. The names of these four men were among the 22 detained suspects.
The Ministry also published a video showing the detainees with blindfolds facing a wall.
Arab activists have said that the Khuzestan Intelligence Agency contacted a number of the detainees’ families today informing them of the execution. They were also told that they were not allowed to hold ceremonies for their loved ones.
Reports also indicate that Ahvaz Prison officials and the city’s Revolutionary Prosecutor also confirmed the executions when asked by the grieving families.
It is not clear whether the 22 people has adequate legal procedures or whether they had access to lawyers. There are also ambiguities as to how an initial hearing, court of review and finally a confirmation by the Supreme Court was carried out in the span of 45 days.
Human rights activists say that Iran arrested hundreds in Ahvaz, Khoramshahr, Sosangerd, and Abadan following the September 22 attack on a military parade in the southwestern city of Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan province.
In a November 2 statement, Amnesty International said that the scale of the Ahvaz arrests was deeply alarming.
“The timing suggests that the Iranian authorities are using the attack in Ahvaz as an excuse to lash out against members of the Ahwazi Arab ethnic minority, including civil society and political activists, in order to crush dissent in Khuzestan province,” said Philip Luther, Amnesty International’s Research and Advocacy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
Iran News Wire sources have not been able to separately confirm the executions.

At the first step, you should be the center of this cruelty and the godfather of crime and murder, terrorism and fundamentalism that nobody is part of Iran's terrorist government. The fact is that the killing and execution of political and conscientious prisoners in public or in prisons is secretly in its astronomical dimensions on the coin of killing innocent people abroad by this regime. The issuance of terrorism and the support of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in this regime is institutionalized and is part of the constitution. The crimes committed by perpetrators and groups affiliated with this corrupt and expansionist state in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq ...
The Iranian regime has appointed the killer of political prisoners as head of the judiciary to counter the wave of protests and protests and this is an insult to human rights that is necessary for all societies and European countries to condemn it. By Tahar Boumedra This Friday was the official swearing in of Ebrahim Raisi as the head of the federal judiciary in the Islamic Republic of Iran. His predecessor in the position, Sadeq Larijani, was notorious for hardline enforcement measures including systematic denial of due process, and in recent years he has overseen the steady escalation of crackdowns on dissent throughout Iranian society. If history is any indication, Raisi, who was appointed to a five-year term by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is set to be even worse. There are a number of features of the new judiciary chief’s record that underscore his apparent disregard for human rights and any recognizable principle of justice. But one thing stands out above all others: In 198...
