Executions worldwide surged to their highest level since 2015, driven primarily by a significant increase in the Middle East, according to Amnesty International's latest report. The report recorded a total of 1,153 executions in 2023, marking a 30% increase from the previous year. Iran was responsible for nearly 74% of these executions, with Saudi Arabia accounting for 15%.
