HRANA News Agency – At dawn on Wednesday, May 21, a prisoner who had previously been sentenced to death on a murder charge was executed in Hamedan Prison.

The identity of the executed prisoner has been confirmed by HRANA as Saeed Kashani.

According to information obtained by HRANA, Mr. Kashani had been arrested on a murder charge and later sentenced to death by the Criminal Court.

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.
