In September 2025 alone, 50 people were executed in just one week, that is, one execution every 3.5 hours. On one single day of that week, 22 people, including two women, were hanged. The systematic execution of women, with at least 37 cases since the beginning of 2025, is unprecedented worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, more than 50 political prisoners, including 3 women, are on death row. In July 2025, the regime executed Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani on charges of membership in the MEK, and vague charges such as \u201cMoharebeh\u201d (waging war against God). 15 others face execution on the same charges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Decades of entrenched impunity have paved the way for such crimes. On July 8, 2025, the state-run Fars News Agency, in an editorial, praised the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners as a \u201csuccessful historical experience\u201d and called for its repetition. Javaid Rehman, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran, described this massacre in his last report in 2024 as a crime against humanity and genocide. Meanwhile, the regime\u2019s destruction of mass graves of those executed is part of its effort to erase the traces of these crimes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2025\/09\/iran-authorities-unleash-wave-of-oppression-after-hostilities-with-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amnesty International<\/a>, on September 3, 2025, warned of a repeat of the 1988 massacre. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/press-releases\/2025\/07\/turk-calls-iran-halt-use-death-penalty-amid-worrying-surge-executions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volker Turk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights<\/a>, also stated on July 28 that there are at least 48 people currently on death row \u2013 12 of whom are believed to be at imminent risk of execution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>We demand:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Immediate halt to all executions in Iran, especially the executions of political prisoners facing imminent execution.<br \/>\n\u2022 Prosecution of those responsible for past and present crimes, including the 1988 massacre.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Sanctions on those responsible for human rights abuses, including prison authorities, judges, and executioners.<\/li>\n<li>Urgent action by the UN Special Rapporteur and UN Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and all international human rights bodies to prevent another massacre in Iran.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For affiliation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PMOI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PMOI<\/a> \/MEK main democratic opposition the Tehran regime placed 17 political prisoners on execution list. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yVPQwv1Ptg\">pic.twitter.com\/yVPQwv1Ptg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Petras Austrevicius (@petras_petras) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/petras_petras\/status\/1980998897339170966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Globally, Iran comes only behind China as the world\u2019s most ardent and prolific executioner &#8211; as of yesterday, the number of barbaric executions under President Masoud Pezeshkian surpassed 2,000 in just 14 and a half months.
