The claim that Iran is carrying out ongoing executions of protesters was examined by reviewing the UK joint statement and the provided web evidence sources. None of the sources (tagesschau.de, bild.de, quality.de, techqualitypedia.com, qualityze.com, aljazeera.com, zdfheute.de) contain any information about executions of protesters in Iran; they discuss unrelated topics such as US-Iran tensions, military movements, or quality definitions. Because there is no corroborating evidence from multiple independent sources, the claim cannot be verified as true or false, leading to a verdict of not_proven.
