According to some sources, at least 932 executions have been reported in Iran so far in 2026.

Omissions

• The exact figure of 932 appears in only one source, the NGO Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA); other monitors publish different tallies (Iran International reported 'at least 916 executed in Iran since January' by 12 August 2026; Iran Human Rights/IHRNGO reported at least 444 executions by the end of July 2026), reflecting differing methodologies and verification thresholds.
• The HRA statement carrying the 932 figure was issued in connection with the World Day Against the Death Penalty (10 October 2026), i.e. essentially at or just after the 7 October 2026 session date, so the MEP could not have cited that exact publication; the underlying data nonetheless describes executions in Iran during 2026 up to that point.
• Iran does not publish official execution statistics; all figures come from human rights NGOs (HRA, IHRNGO, Hengaw, Amnesty International), so the number is an estimate of reported cases rather than an official count.
• The MEP attributed the figure vaguely to 'some sources' rather than naming the specific monitor, weakening the traceability of the claim.
