At dawn on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Kobra Rezaei was hanged in Yazd Prison as part of a group execution involving five prisoners. The charge against her was reportedly related to drug offenses.
As of the time of this report, news of Kobra Rezaei’s execution has not been published by any state-run media outlets or judiciary-affiliated sources of the Iranian regime.
With the execution of Kobra Rezaei in Yazd Prison, the number of women executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 has reached 48, 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 311 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.
