German government condemns the increasing number of executions in Iran. The office of the German “human rights oversight” issued an official report strongly condemning the violation of human rights in Iran and saying “since the Rouhani presidency in Iran more than 200 people have been executed.’ According to Markus Loening, the head of the oversight department, despite Rouhani’s pledges, the human rights violations in Iran continue unabated. “The number of executions in Iran has reached 400 just this year alone. Public hangings are common practice in that country”, he added.
