Hanging is the main execution method in Iran, with stoning and crucifixion as alternatives. Strangulation can make death prolonged. In 2023, over 600 people have been executed, mostly political dissenters. Despite US and Israeli military actions, Iran has maintained its nuclear operations, and the leadership remains defiant. Amnesty International condemned the recent hangings of two political prisoners, linking their fate to foreign attacks. The Iranian regime utilizes the death penalty as a means to suppress dissent and instill fear during national crises, continuing to arrest individuals amid allegations of espionage.
Death by hanging is not necessarily quick, with strangulation and suffocation possibly taking several minutes. Iran has more executions per capita than any country.
The regime's use of the death penalty serves as a tool of political repression during national crises, aiming to crush dissent and instill fear.
Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani were tortured, forced to sign confessions, and sentenced after a five-minute trial, exemplifying the judiciary's lack of fairness in Iran.
Since June, hundreds have been arrested in a regime effort to expose alleged spies, blaming intelligence failures on supposed collaborators rather than incompetence.
