Iran Human Rights Society, Wednesday, October 8, 2025 – Iran executions October 2025 escalate alarmingly. Authorities hanged eight prisoners on October 8, 2025, across Mashhad, Shiraz, Amol, Taybad, and Qezl-Hesar prisons. This surge pushes the month’s total to 128. Statistics shock observers. Iran executes over seven people daily, one every three hours.

Details of Iran Executions October 2025

Authorities executed two men in Mashhad’s Vakil-Abad prison on October 8, 2025. Shahab Jaberi and Rahman—surname unknown—faced the gallows. Both carried drug-related charges. Families received no warning. Guards acted swiftly.

That same morning, Qezl-Hesar prison saw three executions. Mahmoud Vali-El-Olahi, 41, from Nahavand, left three children. Arrested in 2022 for murder, he died first. Ahmad Mohammadi followed, charged with drug offenses. The third man’s identity remains under investigation, also tied to drugs. No delays occurred.

At dawn on October 16, 2025, Sajjad Amiri died in Shiraz’s Adl-Abad prison. A local, he faced murder charges. His pleas went unheard. In Amol prison, Behnam Niknam met the same fate that morning. Murder defined his case. On October 15, 2025, Jalal Moradi hanged in Taybad prison, also for murder. These Iran executions October 2025 fuel global outrage.

Pace of Iran Executions October 2025

The numbers stun experts. Iran executions in 17 days reach 128. This averages over seven daily deaths. One prisoner dies every three hours. Monitors track each case closely. They record names and dates diligently. Communities grieve in silence. However, the system presses forward. Activists rally worldwide. They demand accountability. This pace erodes hope. It signals deeper repression. Therefore, calls for action intensify.

Death Penalty Violates Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The death penalty clashes with core rights. Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states clearly: everyone has the right to life. Only competent courts may judge serious crimes. Iran ignores this. Executions proceed routinely, bypassing fair processes.

The right to life stands inalienable. Death penalties strip it away. Families lose loved ones forever. Judicial errors haunt cases. No remedy exists post-execution. Innocents suffer irreversibly. Hanging inflicts cruel pain, violating bans on torture. The Declaration forbids such treatment. Yet, Iran persists.

Breaches of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

Iran signed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Article 6 allows death penalties only for grave crimes with fair trials. Iran violates this. Trials lack transparency. Accused face restricted rights. Courts bow to state pressure. Sentences rely on shaky evidence. Experts condemn these flaws. They urge abolition. Iran executions October 2025 expose broken promises. Global bodies push for compliance. Reform cannot wait.
