A joint report from Norwegian and Parisian groups estimates that Iran executed at least 1,639 people in 2025. The report warns of increased risks following recent protests and ongoing geopolitical conflicts.

Iran executed at least 1,639 people last year, an average of more than four executions per day, Norway-based Iran Human Rights and Paris-based Together Against the Death Penalty said in their joint annual report, warning that the regime risked killing even more people this year after protests in January and amid the war triggered by the US and Israel.
