The Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM<\/a>) has recently reported <\/a>that in July 2021 alone, at least 52 executions<\/a> have taken place in Iran. This sharp increase following the presidential election in late June has taken the current total for 2021 to 192. Despite the vast number that have taken place, only five of these have been reported by the state media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran HRM said, \u201cThe actual number of executions in Iran is much higher. The Iranian regime carries out most executions in secret and out of the public eye. No witnesses are present at the time of execution but those who carry them out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
