torture of political prisoners following the mass execution of 28 men, an activist has demanded.IRAN must put an immediate end to the hanging and

An estimated 966 to 1,025 people were executed last year

The shocking killings by the Islamic Republic come a week after the Foreign Office said Iran’s human rights abuses are getting worse.

Rights campaigner Ahmad Ebrahimi, who was born in Iran but now lives in London with his son, lost many close friends and family members at the hand of the “tyrannical” Iranian regime.

He warned the international community must become more involved and help put an end to deaths, which he believes have seen an increase in the last 10 years.

His comments come as 28 Sunni prisoners were suddenly executed before their families could even say goodbye - just days after a report into human rights abuses claimed the situation “has worsened”.
