On Tuesday, December 31, 2024, the death sentences of three prisoners convicted of drug-related offenses and murder were carried out at Choobindar Prison in Qazvin.

HRANA has identified one of the executed individuals as Amir Mohammadi, who was hanged at dawn on December 31, 2024. The identities of the two other prisoners remain under investigation.

According to information obtained by HRANA, Mr. Mohammadi had been convicted of murder, while the other two prisoners were convicted of both drug-related offenses and murder.

As of the time of this report, prison officials and relevant institutions have not officially announced the executions. In 2024, judicial authorities or domestic media in Iran officially announced only 6% of executions, underscoring a deeply troubling lack of transparency in the country’s legal and judicial processes.

In 2024, the Department of Statistics and Publication of Human Rights Activists in Iran documented 812 cases related to the right to life, including the sentencing of 214 individuals to death and the execution of 930 individuals. Among these, 4 executions were carried out in public. Of those executed, 818 were male, 26 were female, and 5 were juvenile offenders—individuals under 18 years old at the time of their alleged crimes.
