Iran – Death penalty (20 February 2025)

France utterly condemns the 975 executions that took place in Iran in 2024. These executions are the symbol of the ruthless crackdown against all those who dare express the Iranian people’s legitimate aspirations for freedom.

France and its partners call on the Iranian authorities to put an end to these executions and death sentences. France reaffirms its opposition to the death penalty in all places and in all circumstances.
