Iran has executed at least 1,000 people in 2025, says NGO: ‘Mass killing campaign’ in prisons

Iran has executed at least 1,000 people so far in 2025, an NGO says, denouncing a “mass killing campaign” in prisons in the Islamic Republic.

At least 64 executions took place in the past week alone, an average of more than nine hangings per day, says the Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) group, which counts and verifies executions in Iran on a daily basis.
