Iran Sees 20% Rise in Executions; 531 Executed in 2024 Including 12 on One Day, 18 Women and 1 Juvenile
Oct 12, 2024, 08:35 AM
Rights organizations have reported a significant increase in executions in Iran, with the number rising by over 20% in the past year. In 2024 alone, at least 531 executions have taken place, including 12 on a single day, with 18 of those executed being women and one a juvenile offender. Amidst this climate, Iranian prisoners have protested against the rising number of executions. In a notable legal development, Iran's highest court has overturned the death sentence of Sharifeh Mohammadi, a labor rights activist, who was previously convicted of rebellion and alleged ties to an outlawed Kurdish group. The case has been referred for retrial, according to her lawyer and local media reports.
