Women join hands as they hold Iranian flags during a campaign in support of the government at the Enqelab-e-Eslami, or Islamic Revolution, Square in downtown Tehran, on April 13, 2026. | Photo Credit: AP Iranian authorities executed at least 1,639 people in 2025 and now risk hanging more in the wake of the war against the U.S. and Israel, two NGOs said Monday (April 13, 2026), urging the West to put capital punishment “at the heart” of any negotiations with Tehran. The number of executions represented an increase of 6% on the 975 people Iran put to death in 2024, and also included 48 women, Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) and Paris-based Together Against the Death Penalty (ECPM) said in their joint annual report.
