In just two days, December 15 and 16, 2025, at least 18 prisoners were executed in Iran on charges related to drug offenses and murder.
According to reports by HRANA, on Monday, December 15, 11 individuals were executed in the prisons of Lakan (Rasht), Gorgan, Dastgerd (Isfahan), Zanjan, Dorud, Kashan, Saveh, Kerman, and Neyshabur.

According to a report published by Iran Human Rights, up to October 10, 2025, the Islamic Republic has broken its annual execution record of the past three decades. From the beginning of 2025 until October 10, at least 1,105 people—with the actual number believed to be significantly higher—have been executed.
Of these executions, 49% were for drug-related offenses, 43% for intentional murder, 4.5% for security-related charges, and 2.5% for rape. Over the past year, the provinces with the highest execution rates relative to population were Alborz, Isfahan, and Fars.
In 2024, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Yemen were the five countries that carried out the highest number of executions worldwide.
