Pope Francis condemned Iran on Monday for using the death penalty against demonstrators demanding greater respect for women.

The pope's remarks, made in his yearly speech to diplomats accredited to the Vatican, were his strongest since the start of nationwide protests in Iran following the death last September of 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Amini in police custody.

Francis also repeated an appeal for an end to the death penalty worldwide, saying it is "always inadmissible since it attacks the inviolability and the dignity of the person."

Four protesters have been executed in the aftermath of the unrest in Iran.

Plus, Pope Francis said wars like the one in Ukraine where civilian areas are subjected to what he called indiscriminate destruction are "a crime against God and humanity."
