Iranian crackdown deepens as officials warn of fast-tracked executions for protesters

Iran is facing a harsh post-protest crackdown with tens of thousands detained and a death toll believed to be around 30,000. Families say detainees are held incommunicado, in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, with limited or no access to lawyers, and some facing fast-tracked charges that could carry the death penalty (including moharebeh). Rights groups warn of human-rights abuses amid calls for international intervention and scrutiny of the judicial process.

"UN Agency Alleges Israel's Coercion of Staff into False Confessions about Hamas Ties"

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has accused Israel of detaining and coercing its staffers into making false confessions about ties to Hamas, alleging torture and ill-treatment. Israel has accused at least 12 UNRWA staffers of involvement in a terrorist attack and has alleged that some of its staff are members of Hamas. An unpublished UNRWA report also alleges widespread physical and psychological abuse of Palestinians detained in Gaza by the Israeli military, including UNRWA staff members, with claims of beatings, sleep deprivation, and sexual abuse. The Israeli military has denied the allegations and stated that mistreatment of detainees violates its values and orders. UNRWA estimates that at least 4,000 Gazans have been detained by the Israeli military since the start of the war.

"Palestinian Women Allege Abuse in Israeli Custody"

Palestinian women detained by Israeli forces during the Israel-Hamas war allege widespread physical abuse and neglect, including strip searches, beatings, and interrogations. Rights groups accuse Israel of "disappearing" Gaza Palestinians, detaining them without charge or trial and not disclosing their whereabouts to family or lawyers. Detainees have reported mistreatment, overcrowded cells, lack of medical care, and deaths in custody. Israel's military denies the allegations and says inappropriate behavior will be dealt with, while Palestinian detainees are designated as "unlawful combatants" and face prolonged detention without access to legal representation.
