Iran executed at least 1,500 people in 2025, a 35-year record: Rights group

Iran executed at least 1,500 people last year, the Norway-based Iran Human Rights group said on Thursday, in what it called an "unprecedented" hike in the use of capital punishment.

"It is unprecedented in the last 35 years. As long as Iran Human Rights has existed, we have never had such numbers," its director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam said.
