Several branches of the Iranian regime have been accused by international organizations of human rights abuses, including the volunteer paramilitary force the Basij, the judiciary, as well as security forces like the elite Islamist Revolutionary Guards Corps.
According to Amnesty International, just since the beginning of 2014, the Islamist state of Iran has carried out a total of 40 executions. According to reports, at least 33 of these executions were carried out in the past week alone. These executions are officially acknowledged by the Iranian regime. Public executions were also carried out this month, on January 14th in a city called Saveh, Markazi Province, in the northern part of Iran.
