Amnesty Urges Iran to End Execution Campaign Targeting Protesters

Amnesty International on July 28 called on Iran to end its escalating campaign of arbitrary executions targeting protesters. At least 24 people have been arbitrarily executed on political charges since March 18, per Human Rights Watch. Many were detained during January's mass protests, which activists say killed over 6,200. Iran has carried out 424 executions in 2026.
