Authorities in Iran executed 19 prisoners, including a woman, in cities including Qom and Tabriz, as executions surge amid efforts to silence protests and calls for freedom.
Iran Human Rights Society, Sunday, December 14, 2025-Iran executions continue to rise sharply. Authorities intensify repression amid growing protests. People demand freedom and justice. However, the regime responds with more hangings. This wave directly stems from public dissatisfaction.
On December 14, 2025, officials executed nineteen prisoners, including one woman. They carried out these Iran executions in prisons across Karaj, Tabriz, Dezful, Ardabil, Arak, Borujerd, Qazvin, Bandar Abbas, Qom, Semnan, Khorramabad, and Dorud. Thirteen occurred on that Sunday alone.

These Iran executions highlight the regime’s brutal tactics. Authorities aim to spread fear. Therefore, dissatisfaction grows instead.
Death Penalty Violations in Iran Executions
The death penalty clashes with human rights standards. Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms everyone’s right to life. No one deprives this right arbitrarily.
Iran executions violate this principle. They strip the fundamental right to life. Moreover, executions prove irreversible. Judicial errors offer no remedy.
Some methods qualify as torture. They cause inhuman suffering. This contradicts international norms.
International Obligations Ignored in Iran Executions
Iran signed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Article 6 limits the death penalty. It allows only serious crimes after fair trials.
However, many Iran executions lack transparency. Defendants face restrictions. Courts show no independence. Therefore, these practices breach human rights obligations.
The regime escalates Iran executions to control society. Protests persist. People seek change. International attention must increase to stop this cycle.
