The Islamic Republic’s judicial authorities have executed at least eight more prisoners in various prisons across Tabriz, Isfahan, Birjand and Zahedan, according to reports from human rights organizations.
In recent weeks, U.N. officials, prisoner advocates and others have issued statements on the occasion of World Day Against the Death Penalty, expressing concern over the increased number of executions in Iran and calling for an immediate halt.
According to Amnesty International, the Islamic Republic was responsible for 74% of the world's executions in 2023.
