The Iranian regime has unleashed a wave of state-sanctioned violence, executing at least 1,639 people over the last year—the highest figure recorded since 1989.
This staggering 68% increase in state killings highlights the desperate measures taken by the Islamic Republic to maintain its grip on power amidst widespread anti-government protests and ongoing regional conflict. According to data from Iran Human Rights and Together Against the Death Penalty, the regime is averaging four executions per day.
While many of those hanged were convicted of drug-related offenses or murder, the regime is increasingly weaponizing the judicial system against its political enemies.
At least 57 individuals were executed on security-related charges, including protesters and those accused of spying for Israel or maintaining ties with opposition groups like the Mujahideen-e Khalq.
The regime’s brutal crackdown on the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement continues to yield death sentences, with hundreds currently facing charges that carry the ultimate penalty.
As the mullahs face mounting pressure from their own people and the international community, they have signaled that they will continue to use the gallows as a primary tool of oppression.
Despite the clear pattern of human rights abuses and the use of Revolutionary Courts to bypass due process, the regime remains defiant, proving once again that the current leadership in Tehran views the systematic elimination of its citizens as a necessary cost of survival.
