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.
