At dawn on Thursday, November 13, 2025, Qomri Abbas-Zadeh, a 29-year-old female prisoner, was executed in Sari Prison, Mazandaran Province in northern Iran.
Qomri Abbas-Zadeh was arrested six years ago on charges of murder and subsequently sentenced to death.
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.
Iran, the world record holder in executing women
With the execution of Qomri Abbas-zadeh in Sari Prison, the number of women executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 has reached 53, 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 316 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.
