Survey On Iranians' Attitudes Towards The Death Penalty.
A survey conducted in Iran during the month of September 2020 reveals that 70% of Iranians either oppose the death penalty completely (44%) or agree with it only in unique cases (26%).
This survey, conducted by the GAMAAN Institute between the 3rd and the 11th of September 2020, includes responses from about twenty thousand people living inside Iran. The findings can be generalized to the whole population of literate Iranian residents above 19 years old, who account for 85% of the total adult population of Iran.
Also, according to this survey:
Only 14% of Iranians favor the death penalty as mandated by the Sharia Law (as it is in the present Iranian Penal Code);
More than 85% of Iranian people oppose the death penalty for crimes committed by persons under 18 years of age;
86% of Iranians oppose the practice of public executions;
Only 21% of Iranians say they would prefer qisas (death penalty as retribution) over another penalty if an immediate family member were murdered;
Iran has the greatest number of executions after China. Under the Iranian penal codes a wide range of offences are punishable by the death penalty. The list includes murder, rape, armed robbery, possession and trafficking of narcotic drugs, espionage, economic corruption, affiliation with armed opposition groups, insulting the Prophet, blasphemy, same-sex intercourse, adultery and being sentenced for drinking alcohol for the fourth time. Iran is also one of the only countries retaining public executions and the death penalty for juvenile offenders.
The survey asked respondents about their opinion on the death penalty. About 44% opposed the death penalty regardless of the crime and 26% agree with the death penalty in unique cases only. Almost 13% agree with the death penalty as a punishment mandated by Sharia law and 14% agree with the death penalty as punishment for premeditated murder.
The survey results show that women oppose the death penalty slightly more often than men. Those who voted for Hassan Rouhani or did not vote in the 2017 presidential election are three times more likely to oppose the death penalty than those who voted for Ebrahim Raisi. Of those who voted for Raisi, 37% agree with the death penalty as a punishment mandated by Sharia law.
According to the survey results, 86% of the population opposes public executions and 17% have witnessed public executions.
The survey results show that those in favor of the death penalty have witnessed public executions almost twice as often as those who oppose the death penalty.
The Group for Analyzing and Measuring Attitudes in Iran (GAMAAN) is an independent, non-profit research institute registered in the Netherlands.
