The unfortunate custodial death of Mahsa Amini led to a series of aggressive protests in Iran.  Meanwhile, there is a claim going massively viral on the internet that the Iranian regime has ordered the mass execution of 15,000 protestors.  

Many famous personalities including Peter Frampton have shared this news.

Following the same series of news, a verified Twitter user, Lindsey Boylan wrote, “15,000 people facing execution in Iran after actively supporting the humanity of Iranian women.”

Similarly, thousands of other social media users have shared this news.

Fact Check

On keyword search, the DFRAC team found no such official order from the Iranian government regarding the mass execution of 15,000 protestors. Furthermore, till now only one person has been given a death sentence.

Protesters are being cracked down on by the Iranian authorities. According to a report of PressTV, that was published on 6th November, “Iranian lawmakers had asked Judiciary to severely punish agents, inciters of riots.”  The call was made in a Sunday letter to the Judiciary, signed by 227 Iranian lawmakers, who asked the judicial officials to consider severe punishments for all those involved in the riots, both as agents on the ground and inciters.

Another document on ‘Daily Update on Iran Protests’ shared by the U.S.-based activist Human Rights Activists News Agency mentions that as of 15th November at 3:30 p.m EST, the Estimated number of detainees is 15,915.

However, there are no official sources that supports the viral claim of the mass execution of 15,000 protesters by Iranian government.

Conclusion

The claim that the Iranian regime ordered the mass execution of 15,000 protesters is not correct
