Iran Human Rights Monitor Documents 61 Executions in 24 Days — One Every 9.6 Hours

Iran Human Rights Monitor documented 61 executions across prisons nationwide — from Tabriz to Zahedan — between August 23 and September 15, 2026, a pace of roughly 2.5 per day, or one every 9.6 hours. The report names victims including Mohammadreza Majidi-Asl, 34, arrested during the December 2025–January 2026 protests and executed after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal on a charge of 'operational action for a hostile state,' and Omidreza Heidari, a 19-year-old student from Izeh sentenced by the Isfahan Revolutionary Court amid reports of torture during interrogation. The report ties the executions to a broader pattern of evidence destruction at detention and mass-grave sites, including the demolition of Gohardasht Prison in Karaj that began September 13.
