Executions in Iran set to double in 2025, report says
Executions in Iran are reportedly set to double in 2025, according to a recent report. The increase in executions is concerning human rights organizations and advocates worldwide.
The report, released by a non-governmental organization focusing on human rights issues in Iran, indicates that the number of executions is projected to reach a record high this year. The data suggests that the surge in executions is fueled by an uptick in the application of the death penalty for various offenses, including political dissent, drug-related crimes, and other charges.
Iran, known for its strict legal system that includes the death penalty for a wide range of offenses, has faced international criticism for its human rights practices. The Iranian government, on the other hand, maintains that the executions are carried out in accordance with the country’s laws and that due process is followed in these cases.
Human rights groups have expressed deep concerns over the doubling of executions in Iran, calling on the international community to address the issue and put pressure on the Iranian government to respect human rights standards.
As the reported increase in executions raises alarms globally, it underscores the ongoing debate surrounding Iran’s legal system and the use of the death penalty within the country.
