THOUSANDS AT RISK OF EXECUTION IN IRAN

Iran UA 28.24

There is an ongoing execution crisis in Iran, which has reached horrific proportions. Thousands of people are at risk of execution after being sentenced to death, including for drug-related offenses or overly broad and vaguely worded charges following grossly unfair trials, or are facing investigations or prosecutions on capital charges. Since the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising, the authorities have weaponized the death penalty as a tool of oppression, with over 800 people executed in 2025 alone.

Call on Iran's Head of judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, to immediately halt all planned executions and quash all death sentences - send your email using our email-writing tool.

Dear Mr. Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei,

I am writing to express my concern over the thousands of people in Iran who are at risk of execution following grossly unfair trials in Revolutionary Courts.

Amnesty International’s research consistently shows that Revolutionary Courts, which exercise jurisdiction over national security and drug-related offenses, lack independence and impose harsh sentences following grossly unfair trials. Individuals tried before such courts are systematically denied their fair trial rights.

I call on you to immediately halt all planned executions, quash all death sentences and establish an official moratorium on all executions with a view to fully abolishing the death penalty. Pending this, take steps to bring national legislation in line with international law and standards, including by removing the death penalty for drug-related offences and vaguely worded offences, and repealing mandatory death sentences.

Yours sincerely,
