HRANA News Agency – On Wednesday, May 28, the death sentences of two prisoners previously convicted on drug-related charges were carried out in Kermanshah Prison.

HRANA has identified the two individuals as Farhad Hosseini and Shahmoradi (first name unknown).
According to information obtained by HRANA, Mr. Hosseini and Mr. Shahmoradi had previously been arrested on drug-related charges and were later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

As of the time of this report, the executions have not been officially announced by prison authorities or relevant institutions.

According to HRANA’s report, in 2024, over 52 percent of executed prisoners had been convicted on drug-related charges. Over the past ten years, individuals convicted of drug trafficking have accounted for 40 percent of all executions. Unfortunately, HRANA’s statistics show no progress in reducing executions for drug-related offenses.
