Executions in Iran have become increasingly rampant under Ebrahim Raisi, the Iranian regime’s President, as the government fears an outbreak of protests by a disgruntled public.
Since January, the Iranian regime has executed more than 600, including political prisoners and women. October saw a drastic increase in the use of the death penalty. Here is an infographic to show the rise in executions in Iran.
IranHRM calls on the UN Human Rights Council, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, and all defenders of human rights to condemn the rising trend of executions in Iran and compel the regime to stop this inhuman practice.
