February 2, 2024 - Iran HRM: 88 Executions in Iranian Prisons during January 2024
82% of the executions were carried out secretly
Based on the registered statistics at the Center for Statistics and Documentation of Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM), and through extensive research conducted in this field, the final figures of executions in January 2024 have been obtained. It should be emphasized that the actual numbers are significantly higher, as most executions in Iran are carried out secretly.
In January 2024, the statistics of executions in Iran have seen a significant increase, with the Iranian judiciary executing 88 individuals. This marks a 39% growth compared to January 2023 when the Iran regime executed 63 people, and a staggering 91% growth compared to January 2022 when 46 individuals were executed. These calculations indicate a disturbing upward trend in the number of executions in Iran, and the Iranian judiciary has employed a ruthless approach in carrying out these executions, which is highly concerning.
In January 2024, the Iranian Regime executed 7 political prisoners: Davood Abdollahi, Mohammad Ghobadlou, Farhad Salimi, Pejman Fatehi, Vafa Azarbar, Mohsen Mazloum, and Hajir Faramarzi.
In January 2024, the Iranian Regime executed 1 woman, Zahra Nazaryan.
In the first month of 2024, 73 prisoners were executed secretly and without media coverage, while only 15 executions were made public. Therefore, 82% of the executions in Iran were carried out secretly. Consequently, it is evident that the numbers and figures of executions are significantly higher in Iran, but unfortunately, they do not reach independent media outlets due to the silence surrounding them.
Call on International Human Rights Authorities
The Iran Human Rights Monitor calls upon the United Nations, the European Union, and their member states not to remain silent in the face of these executions. It condemns these state-sanctioned massacres and demands immediate and practical action to stop this bloodshed.
We also request the United Nations to cancel the visit of Ms. Nada Al-Nashif, the Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, to Iran. This is because the Iranian regime will be using this visit to justify and perpetuate its repression, executions, and crimes against humanity in Iran.
