'The EU is appalled by the execution of Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini arrested and sentenced to death in connection with the ongoing protests in Iran,' the spokesperson for EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell said in a statement.
The European Union said it was"appalled" after Iran today executed two men for killing a paramilitary force member during protests sparked by a young woman's death in custody.
"The European Union calls once again on the Iranian authorities to immediately end the strongly condemnable practice of imposing and carrying out death sentences against protesters." The Dutch government will summon the Iranian ambassador to the Netherlands for the second time in a month to voice its deep concerns over the execution of demonstrators, Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra said.
