HRANA – At dawn today, the death sentences of three prisoners previously convicted of murder were carried out in Ghezel Hessar Prison in Karaj.

HRANA has confirmed the identity of one of the prisoners hanged at dawn today, Wednesday, November 26, 2025, as Davood Najafi. Based on information received by HRANA, these individuals had earlier been arrested on murder charges and subsequently sentenced to death by criminal courts.

Further details, including confirmation of the identities of the two other prisoners, are still under investigation by HRANA.

As of the time of drafting this report, the execution of these prisoners has not been 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.
