Some 44% of all those sentenced to death were accused of drug-related offenses, despite no evidence of a marked rise in drug use or trafficking reported by international agencies, the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the report, the two rights groups urged the international community \u201cto increase efforts to support the demands of the Iranian people for
