How many people does Iran execute?
Rights groups report Iran has carried out at least 600 executions this year, making it one of the world's leading executioners. Many sentences are for drug offences, but a significant number, like Najmeh Amini's, are linked to political dissent or charges like blasphemy, used to suppress opposition and maintain control.
