Iran Executes Over 1,000 People in 2025, Highest in 17 Years

Iran's government has executed over 1,000 people so far in 2025, which is the most in 17 years.

An NGO called Iran Human Rights is reporting these numbers, stating that at least 64 executions occurred in the past week.

The group says the actual numbers might be even higher because of a lack of transparency.

Executions are carried out by hanging, mostly in prisons.

The NGO claims that this is a mass killing campaign and calls for international attention.
