At dawn on Saturday, November 1, 2025, Mitra Zamani, a female prisoner held in Khorramabad Central Prison, executed.
Mitra Zamani had been arrested approximately five years ago on charges of murdering her husband and was subsequently sentenced to death.
As of the time of this report, news of her execution has not been reported by any state-controlled media outlets in Iran, including those affiliated with the regime’s judiciary.
With the execution of Mitra Zamani, the number of women executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 has reached 47, marking an unprecedented record in the execution of women in Iran. In the entire 2024, 34 women were executed across the country.
Iran, the world record holder in executing women
According to data recorded by the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, at least 310 women have been executed in Iran since 2007.
Many of the women executed by the Iranian regime are themselves victims of domestic violence and discriminatory family laws. A significant number have acted in self-defense.
In the Iranian calendar Year 1403, at least 38 women were executed in Iran, marking a disturbing 90% increase compared to the previous year.
Since Masoud Pezeshkian took office, the clerical regime has executed more than 2,170 prisoners. The regime executed 285 prisoners in October, including 7 women.
Silence and inaction in the face of the murderers of the Iranian people fuel terrorism, suppression, and warmongering. The regime of execution and terror must be shunned by the international community, and its dossier of human rights violations must be referred to the United Nations Security Council.
