Over the course of four days, at least six prisoners have been executed in various prisons across Iran, including Qezel-Hesar, Arak, Ahar, Maragheh, and Ardabil. With these cases included, the number of executions in the past three weeks has reached 117—a shocking figure that indicates more than five people are being executed daily in Iran.
These executions are taking place amid growing concerns over the lack of fair trials, reports of torture during interrogations, and the alleged use of the death penalty as a tool to instill fear and suppress society.
