HRANA – On Wednesday, September 10, Sepidar Prison of Ahvaz carried out the execution of two prisoners convicted of murder.
HRANA has confirmed the identity of one of them as Ahmad Bani Asad, 38 years old, from Susangerd. According to information received by HRANA, Mr. Bani Asad was previously arrested following a fight in which he committed murder. He was later sentenced to death by the criminal court.
The Iran Human Rights Organization confirmed the identity of the other prisoner as Yousef Asadi Kahbad, 31 years old, from the village of Kahbad in Izeh County. He had been arrested seven years ago on a murder charge and was sentenced to death by the criminal court.
At the time of this report, the execution of these prisoners has not been announced by prison authorities or the relevant institutions.
In 2024, according to 812 reports compiled by HRANA, the Iranian regime executed 930 individuals in its prisons—marking the highest number of executions in the past 12 years. Despite the scale of these executions, prison officials and other relevant authorities publicly acknowledged only 6% of them, highlighting the regime’s lack of transparency and accountability.
