UN experts urge Iran to stop execution of woman activist
Published: 12/23/2025

UN experts and prominent women globally are urging Iran to halt the execution of Zahra Tabari, a women's rights activist sentenced to death for "armed rebellion." Her family claims the verdict was based on scant evidence and a hasty trial. Tabari's case highlights serious violations of international human rights law, with calls for her immediate release reaching a global audience to prevent what experts deem an arbitrary execution. Iran's record as a leading executor of women underscores broader concerns about gender discrimination and disregard for due process in the country's justice system.
