On April 3rd, Iran's regime just executed an 18-year-old protestor named Amir Hossein Hatami, and they're gearing up for more hangings to crush. Descent. Hatami was convicted in a sham trial for breaking into a military site during protests, based on Confessions' Amnesty International says came from. Torture. He's one of seven at high risk, with four others from the same case facing the news one by one. Here this week, four anti-regime figures from the People's Mohahedin Organization of Iran got secretly hanged without family notice, Poya Gobadi, Babak Ali Pohr, Muhammad Tagavi, Sangdehye, and Ali Aqbar Dhanisfar Kar. Last month, three more protestors, including teen wrestlers Salah Muhammadi, were publicly executed for allegedly killing cops amid the unrest. Rights groups and ex-out dissidents are sounding alarms over brutal spike in death sentences, with 15 more political prisoners now confirmed. For execution, families report torture and detention, and the National Council of Resistance

warns this could lead to a massacre like the 30,000 killed in 1988. Protests erupted last December over living costs, exploding into nationwide rage against the regime, which admits over 3,000 deaths, but activists tally way higher up to 30,000. This comes as supreme leader. Ali Kaminay was killed in an air strike. His son, Mojtaba, stepping in amid U.S. and Israeli strikes. Tehran's desperate moves show fear of another uprising, but dissidents like Maryam Rajavi say the regime's real enemy is its own people pushing for. Global action to stop the killings before it's too late.
