Execution is a tool of repression and intimidation of the society
The leaders of the government use execution as the most important tool for suppressing and intimidating society. They try to prevent the resurgence of uprisings by increasing the number of executions. Government leaders strongly suppress any gathering related to condemning executions. And even prevent the gathering of the families of the condemned prisoners.
Revelation of executions, the scene of confrontation between the people and the government
The concealment of the government’s leaders in relation to executions can be understood by not officially announcing them. They want to convey to the people that they can execute anyone they want without mentioning their names. This has turned the discovery or announcement of the names of the executed into a scene of confrontation between the people and the oppressive government. The revelation of these executions has so far led to the recognition and registration of the oppressive regime as a violator of human rights in international forums.
