9th November 2025 - A cross-party conference at the UK Parliament, on 1st November, brought together Members of both Houses, human rights advocates, and members of the Iranian diaspora to address Iran’s escalating wave of executions and discuss the need for a stronger international stance toward Tehran. The meeting focused on the regime’s systematic use of the death penalty to suppress dissent and called for a policy shift that prioritises human rights and accountability.

9th October 2025 - The Iranian regime’s judiciary has handed down a death sentence to political prisoner Zahra Tabari, who is currently detained in Lakan Prison in Rasht. The verdict was issued by the Revolutionary Court of Rasht, headed by Ahmad Darvish Goftar, known for his role in oppressive rulings. During the proceedings, her fate was sealed in a 10-minute trial conducted via video conference, during which she was denied access to a lawyer of her own choosing. Her family stated that the entire proceeding was a “pre-determined show.”Born in Babol, Zahra was arrested in April 2025 after security forces stormed her home in Rasht. This is not her first experience with imprisonment—she had previously been detained in June 2022, spending three months in Lakan Prison before being placed under house arrest for fifteen months, monitored with an ankle bracelet.
