UK calls for Iran to stop all executions "immediately"
(MENAFN) The UK on Saturday convicted the execution of two Iranian men, urging Iran to stop all executions "immediately."
Mohammad Mahdi Karami, 22, and Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini, 39, were executed early Saturday in Tehran due to the murder of a paramilitary Basiji trooper in late November.
According to a declaration, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly stated the execution is abhorrent, asking Iran to "immediately halt" all executions and end the "violence" against its own people.
"The UK is strongly opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances and the Iranian regime has done further lasting damage to its reputation at home and overseas with yet another disproportionate response to the Iranian people protesting legitimately against their oppression," he added.
The execution of Karami and Hosseini took the whole figure of executions to four amid months-long demonstrations sparked by the passing of a 22-year-old Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, in the custody of police in mid-September.
