»Zwei Jahre nach Beginn der Massenproteste hat sich die Zahl der Hinrichtungen in Iran massiv erhöht«

Two years after Mahsa Zhina Amini's death ignited the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests in Iran, executions in the country have skyrocketed by 80%, according to human rights data. Activists have linked this surge to a broader strategy by the Islamic Republic to instill fear and suppress dissent. Rights groups have condemned the executions, which often follow trials that lack transparency and fail to meet international standards of justice.

The Iran Human Rights (IHR) group reports that from October 2022 to September 2024, at least 1,452 people were executed, a significant rise from 779 in the two years prior to the 2022 protests. According to Human Rights Watch, most of those executed are convicted on drug-related or vague national security charges.
