Item Summary

ISBN : 978 2 491354 30 5 ISSN : 2966-8093 "This report has been drafted by Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO) with the support of ECPM (Together Against the Death Penalty). Since 2012, Iran Human Rights and ECPM have been working together for the publication, international release and distribution of annual reports on the death penalty in Iran."

""A year after the state killing of Jina (Mahsa) Amini, which sparked protests across the country, the execution rate in Iran has surged by 43% compared to 2022--from 582 to 834, the highest toll since 2015. Although this increase is to a large extent attributed to the dramatic rise in drug-related executions, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has failed to acknowledge this alarming hike and has instead signed a new cooperation agreement with the Islamic Republic. The scope of death penalty charges was also extended in practice, with executions for apostasy and adultery charges carried out. At least 8 protesters, 22 women and2 juvenile offenders are amongst those executed and ethnic minorities continue to be grossly overrepresented in both political and ordinary crime cases. With this report, we call on the international community to increase efforts to support the demands of the Iranian people for respect of their fundamental human rights and the abolition of the death penalty." -- back cover
