Iran has executed over 1,000 people in 2025, sparking international outrage and condemnation for mass killings in prisons.
Iran has executed at least 1,000 people so far in 2025, the highest such figure in some three decades, an NGO said on Tuesday (September 23, 2025), denouncing the "mass killing campaign" in prisons as a crime against humanity.
At least 64 people were hanged in the past week alone, an average of more than nine per day, said the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group, which counts and verifies executions in Iran daily.
Iran executed over 1,500 people in 2025, marking a 35-year high, according to the Iran Human Rights group.
Iran executed at least 1,639 people in 2025, marking a 6% increase, with fears of more hangings ahead.
Number of hangings carried out between January and September is most in more than three decades, activists say
The Iran Human Rights (IHR) group says it has verified at least 1,500 executions up until the start of December.
More than 1,000 executions were recorded during the first nine months of 2025 - already surpassing last year's total.
