ESOHR Annual Report on Death Penalty in Saudi Arabia - 2024| 🔴 Blood Era: A Historic Record of Executions cutt.ly/3e0AyZPd #KSAHistoricalExecutions

#Iran: At least 144 people including 4 women, 12 Afghan nationals, a Jewish-Iranian citizen and a man with intellectual disabilities were executed in Iranian prisons. On average, more than 4 people were executed per day. In October 2024, the Islamic Republic carried out 166 executions, the highest number of monthly executions recorded by IHRNGO since 2007. The number of executions by Iran authorities has dramatically hiked under the shadow of conflict and the international community’s attention to Middle Eastern crises. Only 4% of the executions were reported by official sources, the remainder were verified and recorded by IHRNGO. IHRNGO once again draws Iranian people and the international community’s attention to the use of the death penalty in Iran and emphasises the need to express opposition and pressure the Islamic Republic to stop the executions. IHRNGO Director, Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam (@iranhr) said: “By executing at least 310 people in two months, the Islamic Republic has begun the most extensive wave of executions in Iranian prisons in the last two decades. Those executed are predominantly from the marginalised segments of society and deprived of minimum fair trial rights. Urgent action by the international community is needed to stop the Islamic Republic’s execution machine.” November 2024 Executions at a Glance: 🔴At least 144 people were executed in November 2024 🔴Only 6 or 4% of the recorded executions were reported by official sources 🔴4 women were amongst those executed 🔴72 people were on death row for drug-related offences 🔴66 people were sentenced to qisas (retribution-in-kind) for murder 🔴6 were sentenced to death for rape charges 🔴13 Baluch and 9 Kurdish minorities were amongst those executed 🔴13 Afghan nationals were executed 🔴1 man suffered from mental disabilities 🔴 1 man was publicly hanged #StopExecutionsInIran #NoDeathPenalty iranhr.net/en/articles/71…
