Khuzestan TV shown forced confessions of 10 Ahwazi Arabs due to be executed by public hanging this week.
International human rights organisations and Iranian and Ahwazi activists have condemned the trials and sentencing. Members of the British and European Parliaments contacted by BAFS - including Green MEP Caroline Lucas, Labour MP Chris Bryant and Conservative MP Michael Gove - have expressed horror at the executions and are appealing for the British government and the European Commission to take urgent action.
