HRANA– On Monday, July 21, the death sentences of seven prisoners who had previously been convicted in separate cases on charges related to drug offenses and murder were carried out in Yazd Prison.

Four of the individuals had been convicted of murder, while the remaining three were hanged on charges related to drug-related crimes.

According to information received by HRANA, one of the individuals was a resident of Bandar Abbas. All seven were transferred to solitary confinement on Sunday in preparation for the execution.

Further details, including the identities of the prisoners, are under investigation by HRANA.

As of the time of this report, the executions have not been officially announced by prison authorities or relevant state 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.
