Iran executions see ‘unprecedented spike’
“There has been an ‘unprecedented spike’ in the number of executions in Iran, Amnesty International has warned. The rights group said it believed 694 people were killed between 1 January and 15 July, almost three times the figure acknowledged by the authorities. It said credible reports suggested Iran executed at least 743 people in 2014.”
