Key Points:
- Since late February, Iran has executed at least 21 people, many linked to January protests or accused of opposition ties and espionage, amid a surge in executions despite an already high global rate.
- Life in Iranian cities continues with a semblance of normalcy—shops open, traffic flows, and people focus on daily survival—while limited internet access delays or prevents awareness of these executions.
- The execution of Sasan Azadvar, a 21-year-old protester, briefly drew attention, highlighting the harsh crackdown on dissent and the heavy security surrounding such events.
- Officials justify executions as legal and necessary for security, but many citizens view them as a stark warning against protest and dissent, reinforcing a climate of fear and helplessness.
- The regime’s willingness to negotiate with external enemies contrasts sharply with its refusal to engage with internal dissent, underscoring a persistent divide between political pragmatism abroad and repression at home.
