HRANA – At dawn on Wednesday, September 24, the death sentences of three prisoners previously convicted on drug-related charges were carried out in Ghezel Hesar Prison, Karaj.

The identities of those executed this morning were confirmed by HRANA as Ahmad-Reza Geravand and Farshad Geravand, both from Kuhdasht, and an individual named Amir (last name unknown).

These prisoners had previously been arrested on drug-related charges and later sentenced to death by Revolutionary Courts.

On September 21, HRANA reported that 14 prisoners in Ghezel Hesar Prison, all convicted on drug-related charges, had been transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for execution.

As of the time of this report, the executions of these prisoners have not been announced by prison officials or relevant authorities.

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.
