“Iran: UN member states must urgently press authorities to halt executions after horrifying increase,” Amnesty International, 10-16-25.  “UN Member states must confront the Iranian authorities’ shocking execution spree with the urgency it demands.

Since the Woman Life Freedom uprising of 2022, the Iranian authorities have increasingly weaponized the death penalty to instill fear among the population, crush dissent and punish marginalized communities. This year, executions have reached a scale not seen in Iran since 1989.”
