UN human rights experts, led by Special Rapporteur Mai Sato, urged Tehran to reveal the fates of detainees amid reports of secret executions and burial sites linked to the January protests. The regime’s reported death toll of over 3,117 contrasts starkly with estimates from human rights groups, which suggest tens of thousands may have died. At least 30 individuals, including minors, face the death penalty for protest-related offenses, with claims of forced confessions and inadequate legal representation. The Baha’i community is also experiencing heightened persecution during this crackdown.
