Iran: 285 Executions in October 2025; A Record of Crime and Brutality in the 21st Century
1,471 executions in 10 months of 2025, including 45 female prisoners, more than double the same period in 2024
In October 2025, Khamenei’s henchmen hanged at least 285 prisoners, including four women and one juvenile offender who was under 18 at the time of the alleged crime. This number of executions in a single month is unprecedented in recent decades and sets a new record for crime and brutality in today’s world and the 21st century. The number of executions this month was approximately 1.7 times that of 2024 (171 executions), three times that of 2023 (92 executions), and more than nine times that of 2022 and 2021 (30 executions each).
In the first ten months of 2025, the number of recorded executions reached at least 1,471, more than double the 703 executions during the same period in 2024. During these ten months, 45 female prisoners were executed, and nine prisoners were brutally hanged in public.
The regime’s judiciary executed Ehsan Mehdipour on Sunday, November 2, a female prisoner named Mitra Zamani in Khorramabad on Saturday, November 1, and 21-year-old Amirhossein Zahedi in Mashhad and Saeed Piri in Kermanshah on Thursday, October 30.
On Wednesday, October 29, 16 prisoners were hanged: Saman Daliri, Katayoun Shamsi, and another prisoner in Mashhad; Ahmadreza Sharifi and another prisoner in Kerman; Zakaria Mohammadkhanlou, Javad Naimi, and four other prisoners in Qezel Hesar; 30-year-old Hossein Ekhlaspour in Baft; Younes Zamani in Taybad; 35-year-old Majid Shahpasandi in Zanjan; and Milad (Amin) Koubesh and Mohammad Toghdari in Gonbad-e Kavus.

On Saturday, October 25, 17 prisoners were sent to the gallows: Kourosh Nasrollahzadeh and 38-year-old Mahboubeh Jalali in Rasht, Farhang Taheri and Ammar Pourmansouri in Isfahan, and Mobin Hayati in Dorud. The names of the other executed prisoners have been previously announced.
Engaging in deals, negotiations, and appeasement with the global godfather of execution and terror is tantamount to fueling the machinery of crime and slaughter of the ruling religious fascism in Iran. This bloodthirsty regime must be ostracized by the international community, and Khamenei and its other leaders must be brought to justice for 46 years of crimes against humanity and genocide.
