According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Iran’s regime has carried out at least 200 executions in September, the highest number in 36 years.
Iran Human Rights Organization also reported on Friday, October 3, that “less than 6%” of the executions were announced in official media.
The Iran Human Rights Society also announced that 1,194 people have been executed by Iran’s regime in 2025.
These executions are unprecedented in the past 30 years.
Less than 7% of these verdicts were reported in domestic official sources.
Amnesty International also reported on September 27 that authorities of Iran’s regime executed more than 1,000 people in the first nine months of 2025—a figure representing the highest annual number of executions in the past 15 years.
According to Hengaw, at least “14 death sentences” were “carried out secretly, without notifying families and without a final visit.”
Hengaw also reported the execution of three political prisoners and two prisoners of conscience during the month and said that at least six women were executed in prisons across several provinces.
Many families and lawyers are unable to provide information due to security pressures or restricted access, and a large number of executions take place in silence or without fair trial standards.
Meanwhile, Mizan News Agency, affiliated with the judiciary of the regime, reported on Saturday, October 4, that Saman Mohammadi Khiyareh, a Kurdish political prisoner from Sanandaj, was executed. He had been imprisoned since 2009.
On the same day, Mizan News Agency reported the execution of six individuals in Khuzestan province on security-related charges. The names of these citizens were not published, placing these executions among “secret executions.”
Following the news, the Karun Human Rights Organization reported that the executed prisoners were Ali Mojdam, Moein Khanfari, Seyed Salem Mousavi, Mohammadreza Moghaddam, Adnan Alboushoukeh (Ghabishavi), and Habib Dris. They had been arrested in early 2019 and sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court in Ahvaz.
Amnesty International had earlier issued a statement warning about the risk of their execution, emphasizing that the collective trial of these six individuals was completely unfair and that they were denied access to lawyers even during their court hearings.
