This article is about human rights in Iran and how they were promised to be changed by the new cleric Hassan Rouhani. Unfortunately, not only have human rights not had reform for the better, they have actually gotten worse. Capital punishment and executions are on the rise in Iran. Iran has now passed China as the leader of executions per capita in the world. over 500 people were executed last year and within the first three months of this year 176 people have already been put to death. Its pretty crazy to think how high that number is. I don't have the numbers but I would be willing to guess that the United States hasn't put that many people to death (At least through the court system) in the last 10 years. I could be wrong but it just seems like to high a number for us to be close to it.
People complain about the US police officers being to tough and rude to people, but in other countries they can kill you and they will not be charged with anything. The other thing that you might want to do is check your sources because the Israel owned newspapers want to make Iran look bad.The numbers might also be cranked up. In Mexico they have the same problem they execute people and just through them in the jungle to rote. I think that China also executes a lot of people and North Korea. It would suck to live in one of these countries that I have mentioned. But you should check your resource on this article.
