Taarifa ya Shirika la Kutetea Haki za Binadamu la Norway (IHR) lenye makazi yake Nchini #Iran ni kuwa idadi hiyo ya watu wanakabiliwa na hukumu hiyo [amoja na kesi za mauaji.
Wanawake watano ni kati ya waliopo kwenye hukumu hiyo na inadaiwa idadi ya watuhumiwa inaweza kuwa kubwa zaidi kwa kuwa familia za wahusika zimeonywa na kutakiwa kukaa kimya.
Iran imekabiliana na maandamano hayo kwa takribani zaidi ya siku 100 zilizopita, chanzo ni kifo cha Mahsa Amini (22), mwanamama aliyefariki akiwa chini ya Polisi wa Maadili alipokamatwa kwa madai ya kutovaa vazi lililofunika kichwa Septemba 13, 2022.

Iran protests: 100 detainees facing death penalty - rights group
At least 100 people have now been sentenced to death or charged with capital offences in connection with the protests in Iran, a rights group says.
Five women were among those at risk of execution, Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) reported.
The real number of protesters facing the death penalty was believed to be far higher because families were being pressured to stay quiet, it warned.
Two men were executed this month after what activists said were sham trials.
Mohsen Shekari and Majidreza Rahnavard, who were both 23, were found guilty by Revolutionary Courts of the vaguely-defined national security charge of "enmity against God".
Iran has been engulfed by protests against the country's clerical establishment for just over 100 days.
They erupted following the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was detained by morality police in Tehran on 13 September for allegedly wearing her hijab, or headscarf, "improperly".
Authorities have portrayed the protests as foreign-backed "riots" and responded with lethal force.
So far, at least 476 protesters have been killed, including 64 children and 34 women, according to IHR.
A report published by the group on Tuesday identified 100 individuals whose sentences or indictments have either been announced by officials or reported by their families or journalists.
All defendants had been "deprived of the right to access their own lawyer, due process and fair trials", it said.
"In cases where they have managed to make contact, or details of their cases [have been] reported by cellmates and human rights defenders, all have been subjected to physical and mental torture to force false self-incriminating confessions."
One of those at imminent risk of execution is Mohammad Ghobadlou, 22, who had his death sentence upheld by the Supreme Court on Saturday. He was convicted of "enmity against God" after being accused of driving into a group of policemen during a protest in Tehran in September, killing one of them.
His mother has said he suffers from bipolar disorder and that he was sentenced to death hurriedly at the first session of his trial without his chosen lawyers being present.
Amnesty International has said it is concerned that he was subjected to torture or ill-treatment in custody, citing a forensic report that pointed to bruising and injuries on his arm, elbow and shoulder blade.
The five women facing charges that carry the death penalty include Mojgan Kavousi, a Kurdish language teacher and human rights defender who IHR said had been charged with "corruption on Earth".
A prosecutor is said to have accused Ms Kavousi of "provoking people to depravity by publishing posts on social media" at the start of her trial in the city of Sari last week.
"By issuing death sentences and executing some of them, [the authorities] want to make people go home," IHR director Mahmood Amiry Moghaddam told the AFP news agency.
"It has some effect," he said, but added that "what we've observed in general is more anger against the authorities."
