| UN Report Reveals Over 900 Executions in Iran During 2024, Raising Global Alarms |
A newly released United Nations report has highlighted a sharp increase in executions carried out in Iran throughout 2024, with the total exceeding 900. The findings have sparked widespread international concern, particularly due to the execution of dozens of women.
According to human rights organizations, the surge in capital punishment reflects a growing crackdown on dissent, with many individuals facing charges related to political activism, drug offenses, and other non-violent crimes. The report also raises concerns about the fairness of trials and the lack of due process in many cases.
The global community, including human rights groups and foreign governments, has condemned the escalating use of the death penalty in Iran. Calls for intervention and stricter sanctions have intensified, urging Iranian authorities to halt executions and reform their judicial system.
Despite international pressure, Iran has defended its legal framework, stating that executions are carried out in accordance with national laws. However, advocacy groups continue to push for transparency and legal reforms to ensure fair treatment and human rights protections for those facing capital punishment.
