Iran Leads World In Executions Per Capita

Guardian UK: Executions in Iran could top 1,000 this year, says Amnesty International - Human rights charity says 694 people have been put to death in the last six months, nearly matching the toll for the whole of 2014

Shaheed called for “a moratorium on executions”, noting that most executions were for drug-related crimes, as well as adultery, sodomy and “vaguely worded national security offences”.
