Iran’s bloodiest year in 2024 after regime carried out execution EVERY 150MINS as it lashed out over Israeli defeats
Share:
IRAN is slaughtering its own people in "unprecedented numbers" of executions taking place every couple of hours as its "paranoid" regime lashes out in the wake of defeats against its proxies to Israel. A swathe of shocking evidence - including official figures and letters from death row prisoners - gathered by The Sun exposes that Iran's killing machine is responsible for over three quarters of the entire world's executions.

Official records show that the number of executions last year reached 1,000 - the highest number in 30 years and 16 percent higher than last year. Iranian resistance group the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) warns that the real number is "significantly higher", however, considering the regime's use of secret executions.

On New Year's Day alone, at least 12 people were hanged in prisons across the country. The grim toll includes women, children and political prisoners - often sentenced to death without any regard to a fair trial or due process. Behzad Nazari, a former political prisoner of the regime, who managed to escape from one of Iran's most notorious prisons, has told The Sun how the the "unprecedented surge" in executions is a "sign of the weakness of a regime on the verge of being overthrown".

Nazari, a member of the NCRI's foreign committee, whose own sister was executed, said: "The unprecedented number of executions indicates that the regime is indeed becoming increasingly. paranoid. "These actions are a desperate attempt by Khamenei to suppress any dissent and maintain control amid growing unrest and demands for regime change.
