IHRNGO Condemns Execution of Pedram Madani for Israel Espionage Charges

Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO); May 28, 2025: Iranian state media reported that Pedram Madani was executed this morning after being convicted of “espionage for Israel.” He is the third individual to be executed on such charges in 2025.

Iran Human Rights strongly condemns these executions, often carried out based on vague accusations such as mere online contact or minor activities. The organisation calls on the international community to react immediately.

Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of IHRNGO, said: “Pedram Madani was sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court without access to a lawyer of his choice, through an unfair and non-transparent process orchestrated by security agencies. The Islamic Republic’s goal in executing Pedram Madani and others who are hanged daily is solely to instill fear within society and to conceal the regime’s widespread corruption and systemic failures.”  

Executions in Iran have escalated in recent months. According to IHRNGO, at least 60 people have been executed in the past ten days alone.
Amiry-Moghaddam added: “The international community and the public must respond more forcefully to Iran’s execution crisis. Only by raising the political cost of executions can we slow down the Islamic Republic’s killing machine.”
