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.

China executes 11 members of Myanmar-based Ming family crime syndicate

China has executed 11 members of the Ming family crime syndicate, which ran mafia-style scam centers in Myanmar’s Kokang region and killed workers who tried to escape. At its height the group employed thousands and ran schemes across internet fraud, prostitution and drug production. The executions followed a 2025 trial in which the Supreme People’s Court upheld the death sentences for Ming Xuechang’s son Ming Guoping and granddaughter Ming Zhenzhen among others, as Beijing’s crackdown on cross-border crime that began in 2023 continues and authorities warned they will intensify efforts against gambling and fraud.
