(Reuters) Tom Miles - Iran had a "deeply troubling" number of executions last year and did not keep a promise to protect ethnic and religious minorities, the UN said on Tuesday in its annual report on Tehran's human rights record. Iran executed at least 500 people between January and November 2014 and possibly many more, the report said. Most victims did not get a fair trial. "The Secretary-General remains deeply troubled by the continuing large number of executions, including of political prisoners and juveniles," the report said. Iran had not kept President Hassan Rouhani's promise to "extend protection to all religious groups and to amend legislation that discriminates against minority groups." Suspects were tortured, held for months in solitary confinement, and risked the death penalty for crimes such as "corruption on earth" and "enmity against God." 2015-03-04 00:00:00Full Article
