According to fresh reports, Zahra Khan Babaii, a female prisoner, was executed in Bandar Abbas Prison in the early hours of Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
She had been convicted on drug-related charges. No more details are known about this execution.
Under the mullahs’ rule in Iran, the operatives of the Revolutionary Guards’ network, who traffic vast quantities of narcotics and addict the youth of Iran and the Middle East, openly supply prisoners in the regime’s jails with drugs to break their resistance. Those responsible not only face no punishment but enjoy lives of extreme luxury, while vulnerable individuals such as Zahra Khan Babaii, driven by extreme poverty and unemployment, are sentenced to death and executed.
Iran, the world record holder in executing women
With the execution of Zahra Khan Babaii in Bandar Abbas Prison, the number of women executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 has reached 50, marking an unprecedented record in the execution of women in Iran. In the entire 2024, 34 women were executed across the country.
According to data recorded by the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, at least 313 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 2,200 prisoners.
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.
