Executions in 2025 soared to the highest figure recorded by Amnesty International since 1981.
#Iran
was the main driver behind the spike, doubling its 2024 figure, a dangerous trend as the authorities used the death penalty to instil fear and punish dissent.

This is a pivotal moment in human rights history. Rights are under attack around the world. But attacks on rights don’t have to win. From youth uprisings in Nepal, to dockworkers stopping arms shipments in Europe, to climate defenders & women winning rights – resistance is rising.We won’t back down.

Notice a pattern? The world’s most powerful are repeatedly undermining international law and silencing people who oppose them. Everyone deserves a world where leaders put human rights first – every time. We all deserve better. A world where human rights come first, not last.

Our differences aren’t the problem. The divide comes from refusing to recognise, accept, and celebrate them - as Audre Lorde warned. Justice means dismantling the discrimination that targets those differences. Another world is possible when no one is asked to shrink, hide, or disappear.
