Executions

Many people in the US oppose the death penalty and often times do so with public protest. In 2025, 47 people were executed up from 25 in 2024. Mostly going unnoticed were the 2707 executed in other countries around the world including 2,159 in Iran. This included deaths from drug offenses and acts of political dissidence. Iran not only treats women as second-class citizens but executes those men or women who disagree with government policy.
