Iran’s Human Rights Abuses: The Opportunity That Trump Is Still Missing
In 2025, Iran executed at least 1,639 individuals, including children, marking a significant rise from the previous year.
Iran had reportedly executed at least 1,639 people – including children – in 2025, a 68 per cent increase over 2024, and at least 48 women, the highest in over 20 years. The year before, in 2024, Iran had accounted for as much as 64 per cent of all known global executions, according to Amnesty International. Over 94 per cent of these executions are carried out in secret and never announced officially, a deliberate policy of concealment, as per the Human Rights Activists News Agency.
