(France 24) Iran executed at least 975 people in 2024, a 17% increase on the 834 executions in 2023, in a "horrifying escalation" of its use of capital punishment, Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) and French group Together Against the Death Penalty (ECPM) said Thursday. "These executions are part of the Islamic Republic's war against its own people to maintain its grip on power," IHR director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam said. "Five people were executed on average every single day in the last three months of the year as the threat of war between Iran and Israel escalated." Human rights groups say that Iran is the world's most prolific executioner after China. Crimes punishable by death include vaguely worded charges like "corruption on earth" and "rebellion" which activists say are used against dissidents. In recent years, executions have been carried out by hanging, mostly in prison yards but occasionally in public. There were reports of an additional 39 executions in 2024 that the rights groups had been unable to corroborate through second sources. Already in 2025, Iran has carried out at least 121 executions.2025-02-20 00:00:00Full Article
