HRANA – At dawn today, July 28, the death sentences of two prisoners previously convicted on drug-related charges were carried out in Minab Prison.

Haal Vsh has identified the individuals as Isa Narouyi (Naderi), 35 years old, from the village of Karahmat in Fanuj County, and Amir Ghanbari, 26 years old, a father of two, from Delgan — both in Sistan and Baluchestan Province.

According to the report, Mr. Narouyi was arrested in 2020, and Amir Ghanbari around six years ago, in separate cases involving drug-related offenses. Both were sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court and were transferred to solitary confinement on Saturday, July 26, for the implementation of their sentences. Their families had their final visits with them on Sunday evening.

As of the time this report was compiled, the executions had not been officially announced by prison authorities or responsible institutions.

According to HRANA reports, in 2024, only 6% of executions were announced by official bodies or domestic media outlets. Over the past five years, 77% of executions have gone unreported—commonly referred to as secret executions. In some of these cases, the lack of transparency is so severe that the death-row prisoners are denied even the chance for a final visit with their families.
