🚨🇮🇷 IRAN EXECUTIONS SURGE TO 901 IN 2024: “JUSTICE” OR SOMETHING ELSE?
Iran executed 901 people last year, including 31 women—the highest number since 2015, according to the U.N.
Most cases were drug-related, but political dissidents and protestors linked to Mahsa Amini’s death also made the list.
Apparently, dissent isn’t just frowned upon—it’s a death sentence.
Many executed women were convicted of killing abusive husbands or forced marriage partners.
The U.N. called it “deeply disturbing,” urging Iran to curb this “ever-swelling tide of executions.”
President Masoud Pezeshkian, elected in 2024 on promises to improve women’s rights, seems to have misplaced that reform memo.
