Officials from the U.S. and other Western nations have accused Iran of convicting suspects in kangaroo courts and rushing to carry out their executions.
"These executions are a key component of the regime's effort to suppress protests," State Department spokesperson Ned Price tweeted Saturday. "We continue to work with partners to pursue accountability for Iran’s brutal crackdown."
