At dawn on Wednesday, November 26, the death sentence of Mahin Rahimi, a female prisoner held in Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad, was carried out.
Mahin Rahimi had previously been convicted of murder and sentenced to death by the Iranian judiciary.
As of the time of this report, prison authorities and official judicial bodies have not publicly confirmed or announced the execution of Mahin Rahimi.
With the execution of Mahin Rahimi in Vakilabad Prison, the number of women executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 has reached 54, 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 317 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.
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.
