Herena Human Rights Organization published a report documenting human rights violations recorded in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan (Rojhilat) between November 22 and December 22.

According to the same report, 127 people were detained in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan. In addition, 23 citizens were handed a combined total of 975 years in prison, 159 lashes, and 448 million and 300 thousand tomans in fines.
The report also documented 103 human rights violations inside prisons in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan. Of these, 37 violations occurred in sections where minorities are held, 14 were related to freedom of religion, 11 concerned students’ right to education, and the violations affected a total of 160 children and young people.
During the same period, the report stated that two Kurdish kolbars (cross-border porter) were killed and two others were injured in Eastern Kurdistan.
The report said that 15 women were killed and 21 violations of women’s rights were recorded during the same period.
It also documented that in some prisons in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan, four detainees were sentenced to amputation of certain body parts. In addition, 47 workers lost their lives due to the lack of workplace safety, while 103 workers were injured.
In a statement issued on October 30, 2025, Amnesty International’s Hussein Baoumi, Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, called on United Nations member states to “urgently respond to the shocking wave of executions carried out by Iranian authorities.”
Baoumi said: “Since the beginning of 2025, more than 1,000 people have been executed in Iran, an average of four executions per day. Since the 2022 uprising for women’s life and freedom, Iranian authorities have increasingly resorted to the death penalty to spread terror among the population, suppress dissent, and punish marginalized communities. This year, the number of executions in Iran has reached a level unseen since 1989.”
