“Iran Sentences 23-Year-Old Najmeh Amini to Death for Social Media Post Amid Surge in Execu” — what this page in the network covers. Human rights groups are sounding the alarm over Iran's escalating use of the death penalty, with at least 600 executions reported this year alone. The latest case involves Najmeh Amini, a 23-year-old accounting student from Mashhad, who has been sentenced to death for blasphemy over a social media post. Amini is detained in Vakilabad prison and faces additional prison time exceeding 12 years in separate cases heard by revolutionary and criminal courts.

As pressure mounts, rights organizations are urging global action to halt what they describe as a systematic use of capital punishment to suppress opposition.
