The Islamic Republic executes one person every 14 hours.

According to reports from a research center, the Islamic Republic executes one person every 14 hours.

According to a report, the research center "Iran Open Database" announced a 24 percent increase in executions by the Islamic Republic.

According to the report of this database, since the beginning of this year (2023), Iran has executed one person every 14 hours, compared to the average of the past fifteen years. This execution rate was announced as "one execution every 17 hours" between 2008 and 2022, but since the beginning of 2023, this execution rate has reached "one execution every 14 hours". This statistic is based on the number of executions carried out by the Islamic Republic since the beginning of 2023. The number of executions was reported to be 113, which is the highest level of executions in the past eight years.

According to Iran Wire, the Open Data Research Center published a chart from its report showing that the highest rates of executions were in the provinces of Tehran, Alborz, West Azerbaijan, Khorasan Razavi, and Sistan and Baluchestan, respectively.

The number of executions in Iran increased after the popular revolution. Protesters who took to the streets to demand justice were accused by the Islamic Republic government of being "corrupters of the land" and "war criminals" and sentenced to death, many of which were carried out.

According to human rights organizations, Iran is the second country in the world in terms of the highest number of executions, after China.
