Iranian authorities’ execution of two men in connection with widespread antigovernment protests is a gross miscarriage of justice and a dangerous escalation.
Physicians across the world under the umbrella of World Medical Association (WMA) have called for the prohibition of death penalty against medical personnel in Iran. The physicians called for moratorium on all executions in Iran, following the imprisonment of a doctor and his wife, who now face the death penalty for participating in a protester’s funeral. The WMA in a letter to the President of Iran said that the couple, Dr. Hamid Ghareh Hasanlou and his wife had been severely beaten and had been sentenced to death.
