Iran Executed More Than 2,000 People in Past Year, Rights Group Says

Iran executed at least 2,003 people between October 10, 2025, and October 8, 2026, according to rights group HRANA. The figure represents a 29% increase from the previous reporting period and the highest total in ten years of the group’s reporting. Murder and drug-related offenses accounted for most executions, while about 95% were not publicly announced by authorities. UN experts urged Iran to halt executions, warning that capital punishment is being used to suppress dissent and instill fear.
