Execution of Three Prisoners in Ghezel Hesar Prison

HRANA – On Wednesday, November 19, the death sentences of three prisoners who had previously been sentenced to execution on charges of murder were carried out in Ghezel Hesar Prison.

The identities of two of the prisoners, Hooshang Norouzi and Javad Sadeghi, have been verified by HRANA.

According to information received by HRANA, the three prisoners had earlier been arrested on murder charges and subsequently sentenced to death by Criminal Courts.

Further details, including the identity of the third prisoner, are still being investigated by HRANA.

As of the time of this reporting, the executions have not been announced by prison authorities or other responsible institutions.

According to HRANA’s statistics, Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj carried out the highest number of executions among all Iranian prisons, with 150 inmates hanged. This figure has nearly doubled compared to the previous year, a deeply alarming increase that underscores the escalating use of capital punishment in Iran.
