HRANA – On Saturday, July 12, the death sentence of a prisoner previously convicted on drug-related charges was carried out in Malayer Prison.

HRANA has identified the prisoner hanged at dawn on Saturday, July 12, as Jalal Nazarbeigi, a resident of Razan County in Hamadan Province.

According to information obtained by HRANA, Mr. Nazarbeigi had previously been arrested on drug-related charges and later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary 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.
