Iranian authorities have arbitrarily executed at least 34 people in connection with the January 2026 uprising after torture-tainted unfair trials, amid fears of further protest-related executions as officials publicly vow to prioritize implementing death sentences against “coup plotters”. Since April 2026, Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the convictions and death sentences of at least 20 others in relation to offences linked to the January 2026 uprising, putting them at imminent risk of execution.
