This was stated in the latest report released by Amnesty International.

“The rise in executions in Iran intensified further following anti-government protests and during the war with Israel and the United States, with the death penalty being used as a tool of political repression and control,” the statement said.

According to Amnesty International’s report, the total number of executions recorded worldwide in 2025 reached at least 2,707 — the highest level since 1981. However, the figures do not include executions carried out in China due to the secrecy surrounding official data.
