Iran's regime has executed four Kurdish prisoners, Pejman Fatehi, Mohsen Mazloum, Mohammad (Hazhir) Faramarzi, and Wafa Azarbar, at Ghezel Hesar, accused of plotting to bomb a defense facility. The executions, approved by Ali Khamenei, have led to calls for more sanctions, referencing the MAHSA Act. In Belarus, authorities have criminally charged Hanna Liubakova and 19 other journalists living abroad, as part of a crackdown on dissidents. Over 1,500 political prisoners are held in Belarus, with tens of thousands having faced detention. The international community is urged to stand with the thousands of protesters arrested in Iran and the political prisoners in Belarus. A session at the Bundestag in Berlin, attended by Evgenia Kara-Murza and other human rights figures, called for the freedom of political prisoners, including Vladimir Kara-Murza, Jimmy Lai, and Maria Kalesnikova.
The Lukashenko regime opens criminal investigation vs. exiled @HannaLiubakova & 19 other journos who consistently inform the world about #HumanRights violations in #Belarus.

Stand with the people of Iran in their fight for freedom. Thousands of protesters have been arrested. Some have already been executed. Many more are in danger. The world should not remain indifferent. #stopexecutionsiniran https://t.co/dh2Pwfht0a
Every political prisoner in #Belarus is a hostage of the regime. For each silenced voice, we must speak louder; for each detained individual, we must act bolder. Defeating oppression requires showing unbreakable courage & unity. I urge you to join us in calling for their release. https://t.co/hGZuYrlHXt
