Iran Executed at Least 975 People Last Year, the Highest Number Since 2015, UN Report Says

  • A United Nations report revealed that Iran executed at least 975 people in 2024, the highest number since 2015.
  • The increase in executions occurred alongside ongoing political crackdowns, judicial misconduct, and demonstrations that started in September 2022, symbolized by the rallying cry advocating for women's rights and freedom.
  • Over 50% of the executions were related to drug offenses, with 43% involving murder; at least four were conducted publicly, and 31 women were reportedly executed.
  • Deputy High Commissioner Nada Al-Nashif highlighted serious torture allegations, due process violations, and warned that restrictive laws threaten women's rights while urging reforms.
  • The report implies urgent need for Iran to halt executions as a step toward nationwide abolition amid broader global concerns about repression and misuse of justice systems.
