<<Grave of Executed Protester Kazemi Vandalized
A relative of executed Iranian protester Majid Kazemi has blamed security agents for vandalizing the grave of the young man on the eve of his birthday. The relative, Mohammad Hashemi, posted on June 8 a picture of the desecrated grave on social media, saying it was set on fire by officers at around midnight. The family had received a phone call saying it was forbidden to visit Kazemi's grave on his birthday, Hashemi said. <For the people of Iran, an, the graves of their fallen heroes, including Majid, provide an enduring light,> he wrote on Twitter. <Just like the legendary phoenix, Iran will rise anew and Majid's memory will forever be enshrined in the hearts of the nation,> he added.Kazemi and two other protesters, Saleh Mirehashemi and Saeed Yaqoubi, were sentenced to death for the alleged killing of two members of the paramilitary Basij force and a law enforcement officer during protests in Isfahan in November. Their execution on May 19 sparked widespread public outrage, with rights groups and several governments criticizing the authorities for conducting hasty trials, forcing <confessions> and denying the accused due process. Meanwhile, the authorities have ratcheted up pressure on their families. Last month, Hashemi said the security institutions had suspended his father's retirement benefits and dismissed his sister from her job, leaving the family bereft of financial support.>>

Groups Call for Urgent Global Reaction to <Chilling> Surge in Iran Executions
The Impact Iran coalition and 11 member organizations have urged the international community to take <robust action> against the <chilling surge in executions> by the Islamic Republic over the past month. <These executions are deliberately designed to spread fear among the Iranian population and quash any form of dissent following the unprecedented nationwide protest movement that began eight months ago,> the groups said in a joint statement published on June 6. The 12 signatories warned that the Iranian government <will continue its ruthless spree of executions unless States, the United Nations, and the international community dramatically and collectively increase the political costs associated with these acts.> According to the Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) group, the Islamic Republic executed at least 142 people in May, the highest monthly number since 2015. It said that the number of executions across the country reached at least 307 since the beginning of the year, a 76 percent rise compared to the same period in 2022. Many human rights advocates have accused the Iranian authorities of escalating executions to try to instill fear in society following months of nationwide protests sparked by the September death of Mahsa Amini in police custody.
....
<The recent executions in Iran demand an urgent and united response from the international community,> the 12 organizations led by Impact Iran said in their statement. <We cannot stand idly by while scores of people are being executed, death row inmates and their families (who may themselves be persecuted for advocating on behalf of their loved ones) are waiting in terror, human rights are trampled upon, and justice is denied,> they said. <The time for action is now.> >>

<<The Executed Baha'i Academic Who Helped Establish National Exams
Iranians of all backgrounds have together built Iran, regardless of their personal opinions, religion, or ethnicity. In a series of reports, IranWire looks at prominent personalities from Iran's ethnic and religious minorities who made major contributions to the country's progress. If you know of such figures and their services to Iran, you can share it with us by emailing adyan@iranwire.com. Khosro Mohandesi was born in June 1929 in the city of Kerman. His father, Agha Reza, was a Muslim and his mother, Rouhieh, was a Baha'i. After finishing elementary and secondary school, he went to the teacher training university in Tehran and, in 1951, graduated with distinction in philosophy and pedagogy. He also took a bachelor’s degree in the same fields from Tehran University. After receiving his bachelor's degree, Khosro Mohaddessin received a scholarship and went to the United States to continue his studies at the University of Illinois.In 1954, Khosro Mohandesi completed his master's degree and doctorate at Illinois with excellent marks and returned to Iran. He began teaching as an assistant professor at the teacher training university and became a professor after a few years.
In 1965, the Faculty of Pedagogy of Tehran University was established to offer courses on teacher training and teaching methodology. Dr. Mohandesi was transferred to this faculty where he worked as a professor. He stayed there until he was fired, years later, for being a Baha'i.
....
Dr. Mohandesi was a polite scholar and had a certain style in the way he spoke, behaved, and dressed. Order and cleanliness were two of his most important characteristics, noticed even by his fellow prisoners, once he had been arrested and jailed because of his Baha'i beliefs. He was also highly knowledgeable - not only in his own field but beyond. He was also resourceful and a good manager, qualities that served him in his work as an academic and examiner, and which also saw him elected to Baha'i administrative institutions in Tehran.
Baha'i Activities, Arrest and Execution
Dr. Mohandesi was expelled from his university position after the 1979 Revolution. He was elected at this time to the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is in Tehran, the city's elected administrative body for the Baha’i community, responsible for handling the affairs and safeguarding the wellbeing of the Baha'i community in that place. On 1 November, 1981, agents stormed the meeting of the Spiritual Assembly and arrested six of its members, including Khosro Mohandesi. He and the others were pressured for two months to renounce their beliefs, which they refused to do, and then they were executed by firing squad on January 4, 1982, on the charge of following the Baha'i religion. Dr. Mohandei was 52 years old when he was executed. He was tried in a closed court without the right to a lawyer. His body was not handed over to his family and was probably buried by agents of the Iranian authorities. According to the Revolutionary Court verdict, his property was confiscated, and his bank account was closed and its assets transferred to the state.>>

<<Gravestone of Executed Protesters Destroyed - Again
The father of Mohsen Shekari, a 22-year-old protester who was executed in December after an unfair trial, has said that his son's gravestone has once again been vandalized. <My family and I have not returned and will not return to the normal life of the past after the loss of our beloved son. But now that we are suffering from our own pain some people do not leave us alone, like today when they damaged the tombstone of my dear son,> Masoud Shekari wrote in a social media post. <One does not know what to say to such people.> Since Shekari's execution on December 8, his father has sought justice for those killed by security forces during nationwide protests. He honored their memory by visiting the victims' graves and expressing solidarity with their grieving families. Shekari, 22, worked in a cafe in Tehran's Haft Hoz neighborhood until his arrest during demonstrations in Sattar Khan Street on September 25. He was executed in the morning of December 17 on charges of <waging war against God> for allegedly stabbing a member of the paramilitary Basij force during a demonstration on September 23. His execution drew sharp condemnations both inside and outside Iran. Shekari set fire to a garbage bin in Sattar Khan Street and wounded a Basij member in a clash. Based on these facts, many jurists consider his conviction on the charge of <waging war against God> to be illegal and unfair.> >>
