HRANA News Agency – On Wednesday, May 28, Mizan, Iranian Judiciary’s media center, announced the execution of Pedram Madani, a prisoner convicted of espionage. He had recently been transferred from Evin Prison to Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
The Judiciary’s media outlet claimed that “Mr. Madani was arrested and prosecuted in 2020 on charges of espionage for the Zionist regime, under the accusations of ‘enmity against God’ (Moharebeh) and ‘spreading corruption on Earth.’ Following the completion of legal proceedings and the Supreme Court’s confirmation of the verdict, the execution was carried out.”
This claim comes despite a video released yesterday by Madani’s mother, in which she stated that her son had been sentenced to death without a fair trial.
Earlier this week, Pedram Madani was transferred from Ward 4 of Evin Prison to a solitary confinement cell in Ghezel Hesar Prison.
Pedram Madani was 41 years old and the father of one child.
In 2024, according to 812 reports compiled by HRANA, the Iranian regime executed 930 individuals in its prisons—marking the highest number of executions in the past 12 years. Despite the scale of these executions, prison officials and other relevant authorities publicly acknowledged only 6% of them, highlighting the regime’s lack of transparency and accountability.
