HRANA News Agency – Today, Wednesday, May 14, the death sentence of a prisoner previously convicted on drug-related charges was carried out in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.

The individual hanged at dawn today has been identified by HRANA as Reza Miri.

According to information received by HRANA, Mr. Miri had been arrested on drug-related charges and was later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

As of the time of this report, the execution has 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.
