On Tuesday, August 12, three prisoners were executed in Adelabad Prison, Shiraz, on drug-related charges.

According to HRANA, one of those executed was identified as Afshin Dehghani, who had previously been sentenced to death on drug-related charges. The other two prisoners, Peyman Eghbali, 37, and Mehran Imani, 40, were residents of Jahrom.

According to information received by HRANA, Peyman Eghbali and Mehran Imani were arrested four years ago in a joint case on drug-related charges and later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

As of the time of writing, the execution of these prisoners has not been announced by prison officials or relevant authorities.

According to HRANA’s statistics, in 2024, Adelabad Prison in Shiraz witnessed the execution of 92 inmates — an 88% increase compared to the previous year. This sharp rise places Adelabad as the second deadliest prison in Iran after Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
