HRANA News Agency – Just like the previous years’ custom, on 10 October “the 12th anniversary of World Day Against Death Penalty”, Office of Statistics and Publications of the Human Rights Activists Association of Iran has published a report , reviewing the last year in the domain of Executions in Iran. (It is important to clarify that considering the recent Report of the Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran about executions in Iran, there will be differences in statistics and numbers provided in that report with the one published by HRANA due to their difference in time scale).
It has been mentioned on the following report that during the period of 10 October, 2013, to 09 October, 2014, at least 548 citizens were executed by Hanging. This number shows 2% increase compared to the same period for 2 years ago. Death penalties and executions are carried out while most of the accused are deprived of a fair trial in Iran. In addition, as the activity of any independent Human Rights Groups in Iran is banned by the government, this report cannot be considered as comprehensive and inclusive of all cases.
