    'Killing off the country': Iran executes dozens, arrests 4,000+ in war crackdown

    The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, accused Iran of intensifying a crackdown on dissent, with 21 executions and over 4,000 arrests since February 28. Iran's use of national security laws to suppress dissent includes torture, internet shutdowns, and targeting athletes and minorities like Bahá’ís and Kurds. Notable cases include executed athletes Sassan Azadvar Joonqani and Saleh Mohammadi, and imprisoned Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi.
