At dawn today, four prisoners previously sentenced to death on drug-related charges were executed in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.

HRANA has identified the executed individuals as Abbas Lak, Hojjat Havasi, Majid Khalifeh, and Afshin Ezzati.

According to information received by HRANA, they had been arrested on drug-related charges and subsequently sentenced to death by Revolutionary Courts.

As of the time of this report, the executions have 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.
