According to the statement, 2,521 executions have been recorded during this period, underscoring what the Iranian Resistance describes as a deliberate campaign of terror aimed at suppressing dissent and preserving the regime’s grip on power.

Executions in November: 336 Prisoners Put to Death
Your corrected figure indicates that 336 people were executed in November 2025 alone, making it one of the deadliest months recorded in recent years. This figure reflects an average of more than 10 executions per day, highlighting the systematic expansion of capital punishment across the country.
The month also included the execution of at least 33 prisoners during the specific period referenced in the statement, although more names are expected to be confirmed.
Total Executions Under Pezeshkian: 2,521 in 16 Months
The cumulative number of executions reported during the 16 months of Pezeshkian’s presidency has now reached 2,521.
This rate surpasses many previous periods and signals, according to the Iranian Resistance, a deliberate policy of intensifying repression to counter internal instability and widespread public dissatisfaction.
Political Context and International Appeals
The statement asserts that the Iranian regime, facing what it describes as “a crisis of being overthrown” and “complete deadlock,” is relying on mass executions to instill fear and prevent unrest.
In response, the Iranian Resistance urgently calls on:
- The United Nations,
- Relevant UN human-rights bodies,
- The European Union and its member states,
to take immediate and concrete action to stop the “killing machine,” protect prisoners on death row, and secure international access to Iran’s prisons.
Conclusion
The execution of 336 individuals in November and 2,521 executions in 16 months represents a severe escalation of state violence in Iran. The pattern of mass hangings, the targeting of ethnic minorities, and the use of executions as a tool of intimidation continue to raise serious concerns for international human-rights organizations, governments, and legal bodies charged with monitoring violations.
