The People's Council of Resistance against the Islamic Republic of Iran (NCRI)' revealed that the Ali Khamenei regime's 2024 executions reached 1000, an unprecedented figure over the past 30 years. In other words, an average of 19 executions per week were carried out.
This represents an increase of about 16% from 864 cases in 2023, according to NCRI. According to Amnesty International, Iran's number of executions in 2023 accounts for about 74% of all recorded executions worldwide.
The NCRI also claimed that 34 women and seven juvenile offenders were among the 1,000 executed in 86 prisons across Iran last year. Considering secret executions, the actual number is likely to be much higher, they said.
In particular, 47% of executions last year were concentrated in the last quarter.
In response, the NCRI criticized the government for creating an atmosphere of fear to protect the safety of the regime as the political, economic, and social crisis escalated last year.
NCRI's next president, Maryam Rajavi, stressed that `the brutal execution in the fall of 2024 is a desperate attempt by the Khamenei regime to prevent an angry popular uprising hoping for a complete overthrow of the regime.' `But this brutality has doubled the determination of young Iranians to topple the religious dictatorship.'
The Khamenei regime must be rejected by the international community, and all transactions with them must be subject to the suspension of executions and torture"'The leaders of the regime must be held accountable before the judgment of the law.'"
Meanwhile, Iran reportedly executed 12 people by hanging on the 1st, New Year's Day.
