Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Iran’s Defenders of Human Rights Centre (DHRC) urge the Iranian authorities to end executions.
The call came a day before the eve of World Day Against the Death Penalty (10 October).
Iran is number one, after China, which use death penalty often targeting prisoners of conscience including journalists.
The two organizations also call for a campaign, using the #notoexecution hashtag on social media, to denounce Iran’s use of capital punishment and to save the lives of Iranian journalists and other prisoners.
More than 30 people are currently waiting in Iranian prisons for their death sentences to be carried out.
