HRANA– At dawn on Monday, July 14, the death sentence of a prisoner who had previously been convicted of murder was carried out in Arak Prison.

HRANA has identified the prisoner who was hanged at dawn yesterday as Mohammad Javad Kazemi.

According to information obtained by HRANA, Mr. Kazemi had previously been arrested on charges of murder and later sentenced to death by the Criminal Court.

As of the time of this report, prison authorities and relevant institutions have not officially announced the execution.

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.
