According to experts, 81 prisoners were executed in Iranian prisons in August, more than doubling the number killed in July.

Iran is a signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which states that the death penalty should only be used for the "most serious crimes," including intentional homicide.

At the same time, UN experts warned that the fair trial process was not followed during the trials of the executed individuals. It should be noted that 400 prisoners were executed in Iran this year, including 15 women.

Most of those executed were accused of drug-related crimes.
