“Executions in Iran hit 8-year high in 2023,” Al Jazeera, 3-5-24.  “Iran hanged at least 834 people in 2023, the second-highest number of executions in two decades, according to a report released by rights groups. The report, released on Tuesday by Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) and Paris-based Together Against the Death Penalty (ECPM), suggests that the 43 percent spike in the use of capital punishment last year came in reaction to nationwide protests prompted by the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini in 2022. … IHR director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam described the figures as a “staggering total.” “Instilling societal fear is the regime’s only way to hold on to power, and the death penalty is its most important instrument,” he said.”
