The EU and 26 countries condemned Iran's executions of protesters in a joint statement, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
The countries called on Iran to listen to its people, take meaningful steps toward ensuring respect for human rights, immediately end use of the death penalty and release those arbitrarily detained.
In July, the UN human rights office noted that Iran has executed dozens of individuals on security-related charges linked to recent anti-government unrest, continuing a sharp upward trend in capital punishment.
