The World Organization Against Torture and partner groups published a global torture index on Thursday ranking Iran as one of the world's most dangerous states for torture, government impunity, and state violence. The report warned that intensified repression following last year's military clashes raised the risk of torture, abuse, arbitrary detention, and human rights violations.
The World Organization Against Torture (OMCT) and partner organizations released their annual global torture index on Thursday, ranking Iran among the most dangerous countries worldwide for torture, government impunity, and state-directed violence. The index evaluated the risk of torture in 39 countries across multiple regions.
The report warned that the intensification of repression following last year's military clashes has increased the risk of torture, ill-treatment, arbitrary detention, and other serious human rights abuses in the Islamic Republic. The findings align with previous reports by human rights groups that have documented a wave of executions and security-force violence against dissent in Iran.
As The Zioneer reported in late June, Iran's judiciary has arrested more than 3,000 citizens on collaboration charges that carry the potential penalty of execution, highlighting a broader crackdown. The index release also follows a series of international condemnations of Iran's internal and external conduct, including a 22-nation joint statement against Tehran's global terror sponsorship.
