HORRORS of Ali Khamenei’s Execution Methods - Warning REAL FOOTAGE | Brutal Documentary

Iran's judicial system is among the most brutal globally, executing more people per capita than any other country. Under Ali Khamenei's 37-year rule, thousands have been executed for various offenses, including protesting, drug-related crimes, security charges, and political activities, with some individuals being minors at the time of their alleged offenses. The Islamic Republic, established on terror from its inception, executed 3,000 to 5,000 people in the first few years after the 1979 revolution, primarily targeting former officials and political rivals. This established fear as a primary tool for control, a strategy systematically expanded under Khamenei's leadership, with human rights organizations documenting over 500 executions annually during peak periods. Iran ranks second only to China in total executions despite having a much smaller population. Khamenei holds absolute authority over the armed forces, IRGC, Basij militia, judiciary, and key supervisory institutions, concentrating power in one individual. The regime justifies executions through a legal framework that includes "Moharebeh" (waging war against God) and "corruption on earth," charges that can lead to death sentences for almost any form of dissent. Khamenei has labeled protesters as "corrupt thugs" and "agents of the enemy," urging the judiciary to act decisively. For instance, in 2020, champion wrestler Navid Afkari was executed after allegedly being tortured into confessing to a security guard's death during protests. His execution served as a message that fame and achievements would not protect those who challenge the regime. Evin Prison, known as the "University of Evin" by dissidents, is where many intellectuals, lawyers, journalists, academics, and activists are imprisoned. Notable figures like Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi and lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh have been held there. Conditions in Iranian prisons include prolonged solitary confinement, mistreatment, forced confessions, threats against family members, denial of medical care, and punitive transfers. The deliberate denial of medical treatment, especially to political detainees, is a documented policy aimed at breaking prisoners' will and intimidating their families. The prison system operates without effective oversight, designed to remain hidden from international scrutiny. Over the past three decades, Iran's response to nationwide protests has followed a consistent pattern: labeling protests as sedition, Khamenei's calls for decisive action, deployment of security forces and live ammunition, mass arrests, nationwide internet shutdowns, and complete impunity for officials. This pattern was evident in the 1999 student uprising, the 2009 protests, and the 2019 uprising, where thousands were arrested and hundreds killed, with the internet shut down to conceal the violence. The 2022 protests following Mahsa Amini's death posed a fundamental challenge to the regime, particularly regarding women's oppression. Despite Khamenei's condemnation, protests continued, leading to hundreds of deaths and a deliberate campaign of fear. The late 2025 and January 2026 uprising, amid economic crisis, saw an intensified use of violence, military deployment, heavy weapons, and severe internet disruption, with UN and Amnesty International reports suggesting potential crimes against humanity. This occurred while Iran faced external military pressure, indicating the regime prioritized internal control over defense against foreign threats. The chain of command for these crackdowns leads directly to Ali Khamenei, whose ultimate authority over security forces and the judiciary makes him responsible for decisions regarding lethal force and capital punishment. The consistent pattern of repression across protests demonstrates a coordinated policy. Responses have been more severe in regions with ethnic and religious minorities, with disproportionately heavy sentences and executions, alongside religious restrictions and discrimination. The case of Ruhollah Zam, an Iranian activist and journalist living in exile in France, exemplifies the regime's transnational repression. Zam, who ran Telegram channels for protesters, was kidnapped by Iran's Revolutionary Guard in October 2019, forced to confess on television, and executed in December 2020. This act, targeting a refugee under French protection, highlights the regime's willingness to cross international borders to silence critics. The use of capital punishment for individuals who were minors at the time of their alleged crimes is another severe aspect of Iran's system, violating international law. The case of Arman Abdolali, arrested at 17 and executed at 25 after six years on death row, illustrates the psychological torment inflicted through repeated execution postponements and solitary confinement. International human rights organizations and UN experts condemned his execution. In June 2025, Evin Prison was targeted in American and Israeli strikes on Iran, described by Israel as a symbol of the regime's repression. While its destruction was symbolic, it also revealed the tragic reality that the regime's systematic elimination of political opposition has left a terrifying vacuum, potentially hindering peaceful change even if the regime collapses. This systematic brutality under Khamenei, from its foundation of terror to the bombing of Evin Prison, demonstrates how concentrated power without accountability leads to crimes against humanity. The Iranian people's courage in the face of this oppression warrants international attention and support.
