Today, July 29, the execution of a prisoner previously sentenced to death for murder was carried out in Minab Prison, Hormozgan province, acording to Haal Vsh.
The identity of this prisoner has been reported as “Mahim Jangi-Zahi, from Jask County.”
According to the report, Mr. Jangi-Zahi was arrested four years ago on charges of murder and was subsequently sentenced to death by the judicial authority.
No official sources or domestic media outlets within the country have provided coverage of these executions at the time of writing. In 2023, 66% of HRANA’s reports on executions lacked official announcements by judicial authorities and went unreported by media inside Iran, highlighting a troubling lack of transparency in due process.
In 2023, the Department of Statistics and Publication of Human Rights Activists in Iran registered the execution of 767 individuals. Out of these, 7 were carried out in public. Among the executed individuals whose genders were identified, 21 were female. Additionally, 2 juvenile offenders, defined as individuals under the age of 18 at the time of their alleged crimes, were also executed.
