Iran executes two for protest violence
Recently, Iranian authorities carried out several executions, including two men convicted of killing four security personnel during the January 2026 protests in Mashhad, following the Supreme Court's approval of the death sentences. In September, another man was executed on charges of leaking sensitive information about missile sites to Israel. Iran recorded its highest number of executions in the past year since 1989, with at least 1,639 people executed. It remains one of the countries most frequently using the death penalty, second only to China. Executions are carried out at a nearly weekly rate, including public executions in some cities and widespread detentions.
