Death penalty & execution watch
People in Iran who are under a death sentence or at risk of execution, with every status tied to its sources and the date it was last checked.

How this watch works
Every case is checked by a person before it is published. Social-media posts are research leads: they can start a check, but they never set a status on their own.

Each card shows when the case was last checked. A case that has not been checked recently is marked “needs review” — it never means the person is no longer at risk.
