A Sharp Rise in Global Executions: Iran at the Center
According to a new report published by Amnesty International, the number of executions worldwide during 2025 reached a 44-year high. The organization points to the regime in Iran as the primary driver of this alarming trend.
Iran International, a media outlet identified with the exiled Iranian opposition that is consistently critical of Tehran's domestic policy, reported that according to the organization's findings, "the number of executions carried out by the Islamic Republic is the main factor for this increase."
The data was also circulated on other Telegram channels, including هات نیوز | فوری 🔴, which emphasized that this is a record figure not seen since 1981. The reports are based on official findings published by Amnesty International, indicating a significant radicalization in Tehran's sentencing policy over the past year.
