Iran 'carried out a THOUSAND executions in 2024' - with prisoners forced to have fingers amputated or EYES gouged out
The toll of those executed in 2024 includes 34 women and seven minors and is the highest figure recorded in over three decades.
119 Baluchi people - a minority group from Iran's Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchistan provinces - were also executed.
Four executions were barbarically carried out in public.
However, the number of overall executions could be much higher, taking into consideration that some have been carried out in secret.
At least 12 prisoners were executed in Iran on New Years Day.
The barbaric wave of executions are part of Khamenei's 'desperate' attempt to prevent an uprising, with capital punishment used as a way of instilling fear throughout society.

Iran's use of capital punishment has been condemned around the world. Here, a group of protestors can be seen demonstrating against executions in Iran in Brussels, Belgium
'Khamenei resorts to these executions to suppress the people's uprising demanding the regime’s overthrow'
'These atrocities only strengthen the determination of Iran’s youth to overthrow the religious dictatorship.'
'The regime must be ostracized by the international community, and any dealings with it should be conditioned on halting executions and torture. Its leaders must be held accountable before justice.'
Iran is also known to use several other forms of cruel punishments in order to discipline those who defy the nation's cruel regime.
Under the Islamic Republic's penal code, authorities are allowed to use their 'eye for an eye' law, which sees prisoners endure horrific punishments designed to inflict as much pain as possible.
This includes amputating the fingers of people convicted of theft - an act that is widely condemned as abhorrent and illegal by human rights activists across the world.
According to the US-based Abdorrahman Boroumand Centre, Iranian authorities have amputated the fingers of at least 131 men since January 2000.
Punishments also include gouging out the eyes of prisoners and torturing them.
Alongside other human rights campaigners, Amnesty International has called for Iran to halt these callous punishments.
