HRANA – On July 27, alongside the executions of political prisoners Behrooz Ehsani Eslamlou and Mehdi Hasani in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, two other inmates previously sentenced to death for murder were also executed.

HRANA has identified these two hanged prisoners as Saeed Kashani and Naser Nazari Tehrani.

According to information received by HRANA, Kashani and Nazari Tehrani had both been arrested on murder charges and sentenced to death by judicial authorities.

As of the time this report was compiled, the executions of these two individuals had not been officially announced by prison authorities or relevant institutions.

According to HRANA’s statistics, Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj carried out the highest number of executions among all Iranian prisons, with 150 inmates hanged. This figure has nearly doubled compared to the previous year — a deeply alarming increase that underscores the escalating use of capital punishment in Iran.
