Iran ramps up executions of political prisoners, rights group says

Apr 26, 2026, 01:06 GMT+1

Iran has intensified executions of political prisoners on national security charges, including several individuals detained during January protests, a US-based human rights organization said, warning that the true scale is likely far higher than documented.

The Abdorrahman Boroumand Center said it had recorded 612 executions in Iran since the start of 2026, including 15 cases since early April.

The group noted that ongoing restrictions on global internet access in Iran—the longest such shutdown in modern history—alongside a lack of transparency in the judiciary, have made it difficult to verify and document executions.

As a result, the actual number of executions is likely significantly higher than reported, it added.
