Execution figures in Islamic Iran, 2009 and past

We do not have official statistics on executions in Islamic republic of Iran because Iran does not disclose such stats and keep it secret. There is a common consensus that true figure is very much higher so Iranian authorities wouldn't publish it. According to Amnesty International records Iran after China carried out the most executions in the world.

Islamic republic of Iran execution figures:

2009:   388+ people
2008:   346   people
2007:   317   people
2006:   177   people
2005:   94     people

These figures collated by various human rights organizations.
