🔴 The Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation has documented at least 851 executions in Iran since the beginning of 2026, with 32 of those occurring in July alone.

🔸 According to international law, the death penalty is limited to "the most serious crimes" — interpreted as intentional murder — however, in Iran, non-violent drug-related offenses account for the majority of executions under such charges.

🔸 Based on data collected by the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation, nearly 45% (2,946 cases) of all recorded executions over the ten-year period from 2016 to 2025 were related to drug-related allegations.

🔸 The Iranian government's abuse of the death penalty has become so severe that prisoners in Unit 2 of Gohardasht Prison, the largest state prison in Iran, have gone on hunger strike for the second time this year, with some even sewing their lips shut. Eight days into the strike, none of the officials have responded to their situation or addressed their demands.
