Human rights organizations estimate that China executes thousands of people a year. The number of executions is a state secret. While some executions are reported in the media, [1] these represent a small fraction of those that are carried out. It is estimated that China executes more than the rest of the world together. [2]

At least 273. [1]
Given the secrecy surrounding executions, exact numbers are difficult to obtain and different figures are provided by various organizations.
The Iran Human Rights Monitor reports that at least 273 people were executed in 2019. [2] They also report that at least nine people who were under the age of 18 at the time of the offense and 17 women were executed in 2019. [3]
According to the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, 267 people, including at least 15 women, were executed in 2019. [4]
Iran Human Rights also collates reports of executions [5] and reported that at least 258 executions had been carried out as of December 25, 2019. [6]
The Abdorrahman Boroumand Center reported there had been 214 executions in 2019 as of December 4, 2019. [7]
The actual number of executions is likely to be higher given the government’s underreporting of executions and the holding of secret executions.
There are specific reports of Iran executing people who were under 18 at the time of the offense, who were mentally disabled, or both. In April 2019, Amnesty International reported the execution of two 17-year-old boys, who were 15 years old at the time of the alleged offense. [8] Body marks indicated that they had been flogged before execution. [9] One of these juveniles was reportedly intellectually disabled. [10] In July 2019, authorities hanged a man, reportedly Touraj Ghassemi, who was possibly a juvenile at the time of committing murder. [11] In August 2019, Hamid Avesti, a Kurdish man was executed for murder allegedly committed when he was under 18, having been sentenced to death when he was 17. [12] In September 2019, Iran executed a woman with mental disability in Sanandaj prison. [13] On October 25, Iran executed a 21-year old man who received a death sentence for a murder he allegedly committed at the age of 16. [14] On November 17, a man who was likely under the age of 18 at the time of the offense was executed. [15]
According to reports, on December 4, Iran executed a woman for killing a man who attempted to rape her. [16]

Because of the secrecy surrounding capital punishment, we are not able to offer a reliable estimate. This is the number of executions reported in the media (which often obtain their information from South Korean sources), but media reports are not always accurate.
In December, a medical practitioner was executed in Samjiyon city for medical malpractice that resulted in the death of a patient. [2] Another man was executed in Pyongyang in late December for allegedly divulging Kim Jong Un’s whereabouts. [3] In November 2019, North Korea executed two unlicensed medical practitioners for illegally performing facial surgeries. [4] In March 2019, two women accused of carrying out “superstitious activities” were publicly tried and executed by firing squad in North Hamgyong’s Chongjin city. [5] In February 2019, a man convicted of drug dealing was executed by firing squad in the city of Hamhung, South Hamgyong Province. [6] Adherence to fair trial standards and due process seems unlikely as both the women and the man were allegedly publicly tried and executed. [7] Also, in January 2019, a man was executed by firing squad at the Hoeryong Jongori correctional labor camp in front of other inmates. [8] The man allegedly killed a prison guard, and his execution took place only four days after an investigation had begun, contravening the North Korean criminal code’s requirement of several layers of investigation, indictment, and trial in such cases.

According to Reprieve , Saudi Arabia executed 184 people in 2019, 90 of whom were foreign nationals and six of unknown nationality. [2] Saudi Arabia executed at least three foreign national women from Nigeria, the Philippines, and Pakistan. [3] In September, Saudi Arabia executed a person from Pakistan, and two people from Bahrain for drug-related charges. [4] Saudi Arabia further executed two young Jordanians in October. [5]
In July, a report by Baroness Helena Kennedy stated that at least 55 out of 134 people were executed for drug-related offences. [6]
In April, Saudi Arabia carried out a mass execution of 37 people convicted of terrorism-related offenses after conducting trials that did not meet fair trial standards. [7] At least 33 of the 37 people executed belonged to the country’s Shi’a minority, [8] and at least three were under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged offense. [9]
