Iranian authorities continue to execute their citizens on various charges
Iranian authorities continue to execute their citizens on various charges, claiming it is necessary to maintain their rule and power. However, most countries around the world have abolished the death penalty, and those that still have it in their laws refrain from issuing or carrying out such sentences except in rare cases.
Many executions not reported due to censorship.
The death penalty is legal in Iran and issued in judicial rulings for certain crimes such as political crimes, murder, rape, child sexual abuse, sodomy, drug trafficking, armed robbery, kidnapping and waging war against God (Moharebeh ).
Currently, 104 countries have abolished the death penalty through referendums. 50 countries have abolished methods leading to death, and only 6 countries will have the death penalty during wartime.
