The latest execution in Shiraz brings the total number of women executed in Iran to 131 since the summer of 2013.Iran is the world’s most prolific executioner, with the most citizens executed per capita. It is also the world’s leading female executioner. The executions are completely unjust.
The actual number of executions, particularly among women, is significantly higher. The majority of executions are carried out in secret and away from the public eye by the clerical regime. Only those who carry out the executions are present at the time of execution. The Iranian regime uses the death penalty as a form of punishment.
This punishment is meted out in a discriminatory manner to religious and ethnic minorities, political dissidents, and women.
Many of the Iranian women executed were victims of domestic violence who acted in self-defense.
More than two-thirds of the world’s countries have abolished or halted the death penalty, according to Amnesty International. However, under Ebrahim Raisi, a notorious henchman of the 1988 massacre, and Gholam Hossein Mohseni Eje’i, another notorious judge involved in the genocide, the killing machine in Iran is picking up speed.
