Javaid Rehman: So far, 21 people have been sentenced to death in connection with the protests.
Javaid Rehman, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, has expressed concern over the initiation of a campaign by the Iranian government to issue death sentences for protesters in the country.
The United Nations says that since the start of the protests on September 17, in response to the death of Mahsa Amini during her detention by the morality police, more than 300 people have been killed and 14,000 arrested in Iran.
The Iran Human Rights organization in Norway, in its latest report on November 28, has reported the death of at least 448 citizens, including 60 children and 29 women.
He said that so far, 21 people, including one woman, have been sentenced to death in connection with the protests in Iran on vague and general charges.
