# Claim table — Iran “executed protester” Facebook photo

| Claim / issue | Source-check finding |
|---|---|
| Facebook post says “Ghaem Hosseini, 21 years old,” who protested for freedom in January, was executed by Iran’s Islamic regime. | Preserved as the Facebook caption. Not independently confirmed in this pass: exact-name searches for Ghaem/Qaem/Qhaem Hosseini and Persian variants returned no public match from this environment. |
| Photo itself names the person. | No. Vision/OCR found the image text only says “EXECUTED.” The name appears in the Facebook caption, not on the graphic. |
| Iran uses execution and death-penalty pressure against protesters/dissidents. | Supported generally by Amnesty/HRW context. Amnesty says Iran recorded the highest number of executions since 1989, trials were systematically unfair, and protesters/dissidents faced death-penalty exposure; HRW frames politically motivated executions and crackdown/mass-arrest issues as active concerns. |
| The post asks “Where is the UN?” | The question is part of the Facebook caption. Amnesty notes the UN Human Rights Council renewed mandates for the Special Rapporteur and Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, but that Iran denied entry to them and other monitors. |
| The individual execution should be reported as confirmed fact. | Not from the sources captured here. The responsible wording is “a viral post claims…” unless a primary Iranian record, court/prison notice, family statement, rights-group alert, or UN/NGO case note confirms the identity and execution date. |
