Iran's Execution Controversy: Silence from Europe Under Scrutiny

Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian opposition leader, has turned a critical eye on European nations, accusing them of inaction against Iran's unfolding execution spree.

In a vehement address to the European Parliament, Rajavi, representing the National Council of Resistance of Iran, blasted the European Union for what she described as an indefensible silence as Tehran executed another individual on charges of espionage for Israel.

International rights organizations have already condemned Iran for its history of political repression, which includes executing dissidents and quelling protests with lethal measures.
