Germany Summons Iranian Ambassador over Planned Executions
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock strongly condemns planned executions in Iran
Germany has summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest the planned executions of protesters arrested during the recent unrest in the country.
The executions have been widely condemned by the international community, with Germany being one of the most vocal critics. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said in a statement that the executions were "a clear violation of human rights" and that Germany "strongly condemns" them.
The Iranian government has defended the executions, saying that they are necessary to maintain order and security in the country. However, critics argue that the executions are politically motivated and that they are being used to silence dissent.
The summoning of the Iranian ambassador is a sign of Germany's growing frustration with Iran's human rights record. Germany has been a strong supporter of Iran in the past, but the recent crackdown on protesters has led to a deterioration in relations between the two countries.
The German government has called on Iran to release all political prisoners and to respect the human rights of its citizens. Germany has also said that it is considering further sanctions against Iran if the government does not change its course.
The Iranian government has not yet commented on the German government's statement or the summoning of its ambassador.

The planned executions in Iran have been widely condemned by the international community. Germany has been one of the most vocal critics of the executions, and has summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest.
