HRANA News Agency – At dawn yesterday, February 20, the execution of a prisoner who had previously been sentenced to death on murder charges was carried out in Bushehr Prison.
Based on information received by HRANA, the prisoner, approximately 35 years old, had committed murder during a dispute in the city of Borazjan and was subsequently sentenced to death by a criminal court.
A knowledgeable source told HRANA: “The victim was one of the managers of a private addiction treatment camp in Borazjan and a resident of the same city. About a year ago, while trying to break up a street fight, he was killed. The murder case was processed swiftly, reaching the execution stage within approximately 18 months. Today, after the victim’s family refused to grant clemency, the convicted individual was executed in prison.”
Further details, including the identity of the prisoner, are still under investigation by HRANA.
As of the time of this report, prison authorities and relevant officials have not publicly announced the execution.
In 2024, the Department of Statistics and Publication of Human Rights Activists in Iran documented 812 cases related to the right to life, including the sentencing of 214 individuals to death and the execution of 930 individuals. Among these, 4 executions were carried out in public. Of those executed, 818 were male, 26 were female, and 5 were juvenile offenders—individuals under 18 years old at the time of their alleged crimes.
