“War on drugs”: Iran carries out 853 executions, highest figure since 2015

The Iranian authorities executed at least 853 people last year, the highest number for eight years, said Amnesty International in a new report today, describing the surge in executions as horrifying with Iranian prisons transformed into sites of mass killings

In a new research summary made public on Thursday, April 4, the organization emphasises that at least 481 executions – or more than half of the 853 executions documented in 2023 – were linked to drug-related offences.
