According to Amnesty International, Iranian officials have carried out more than 1,000 people in 2025 so far, which is the highest annual figure recorded by the group in at least 15 years.
Iran said six people associated with Israel killed police officers and security forces, as well as the orchestrated bombing that targeted sites around Khoramshahr in Iran’s Khuzestan province. Television of the Iranian state aired footage of one of the men who talked about the attacks, saying that this was the first time the details were being made public.
A Kurdish group named Hengou Organization for Human Rights said that six were actually Arab political prisoners who were arrested during the 2019 opposition. Hengow said Iran accused him of joining the Arab Sangharsh movement for the liberation of Ahwaz, a separatist group convicted for the pipeline bomb blasts and other attacks in the region.
The group insisted that men were tortured and forced to give television confessions under Duresh.

The seventh prisoner, Saman Mohammadi Khiareh, Ek Kurdish, was convicted for the assassination of Mamouta Sheikh al-Islam in 2009, which is a supporter Sunni Maulvi in Kurdish city of Sanandaj.
The activists have questioned the case of Khiareh, given that he was only 15 or 16 years old at the time of murder, was arrested on 19 and was held for more than a decade before his execution. His sentence, he said, trusted the confession taken out under torture – an practice activists accuse the Iranian courts of regular use.

Iran has been killing prisoners since 1988 to ignore the prisoners, when it killed thousands of people at the end of the Iran-Iraq war.
Independent United Nations human rights experts, according to a recent press release from the High Commissioner’s Office for Human Rights, “a dramatic growth that violates the International Human Rights Act,” has played an alarm about a dramatic growth.
“With more than nine hanging per day in recent weeks, Iran appears to conduct an industrial -scale execution that defines all the approved standards of human rights protection,” the body said.
