Over 2,500 Protestors Dead in Iran – Global Concern Over Execution of 26-Year-Old Erfan Soltani

The situation in Iran remains critical, with protests continuing and the death toll exceeding 2,500. Authorities are planning the execution of 26-year-old Erfan Soltani, who was arrested for participating in anti-government protests, following an extremely rapid court process. Tehran is threatening public executions to further suppress the demonstrations. The HRANA organization has announced that it has confirmed the deaths of 2,403 protestors, 147 individuals linked to the government, 12 minors, and 9 people who were not involved in the protests. Despite international calls for restraint, the Iranian government appears to be intensifying its crackdown, with Donald Trump threatening strong action if protestors are executed.
