The death sentence for Showkat Vaisi, a female inmate, was carried out at dawn on Sunday, November 16, 2025, in Damghan Prison. The charge brought against her was related to drug offenses.
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 Showkat Vaisi, driven by extreme poverty and unemployment, are sentenced to death and executed.
Iran, the world record holder in executing women
With the execution of Showkat Vaisi in Damghan Prison, the number of women executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 has reached 52, 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 315 women have been executed in Iran since 2007.
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 2,300 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.
