Tehran – Iran – (HRNW)– Iran has witnessed a dramatic increase in executions in 2025, enforcing capital punishment at rates more than double those of the previous year, according to rights monitoring groups.
Reports indicate at least 1,900 people were executed, with most carried out quietly without public announcement. This escalation coincides with intensified crackdowns on political activists, journalists, and dissidents, as the government seeks to suppress ongoing dissent linked to economic hardship and demands for democratic reforms.
Families of victims report widespread anguish as authorities deny access to fair legal processes.
