'Staggering' Iran toll drives up global executions to their highest since 1981, says Amnesty International
In 2025, at least 2,707 people were executed globally, and of these cases, 2,159 were in Iran, Amnesty International said on Sunday. The UK-based rights group, among others, has noted that Iran has upped its use of the death penalty again in 2026 after the January protests and the war against the US and Israel.
