Iran put to death over 2,150 people last year, a "staggering" increase that pushed recorded worldwide executions to their highest level since 1981, Amnesty International said Monday.Amnesty said it had confirmed the executions of at least 2,707 people globally in 2025. Of these cases, 2,159 were in Iran, a figure more than double that of 2024, Amnesty said.

In zeventien landen waren het in totaal 2707 mensen. De mensenrechtenorganisatie houdt de cijfers bij sinds 1981.
