This year, more than 950 people have been executed in Iran, including at least 29 people arrested in connection with January’s protests. Months later, scores are still at risk of execution.

The United Nations Development Program estimates that 90% of Syrians live below the poverty line, compared with about a third before the Syrian civil war began in 2011.

A video of Hadi al-Amiri saying "the resistance stood bravely in the face of (the October fitna, as it was dubbed) and preserved the state and political system,” began circulating.
