Gachsaran, Gachsaran Prison, Mohammad Rezvani

On Wednesday, August 21, Mohammad Rezvani was arrested in Gachsaran and transferred to the local prison to serve his sentence.

According to HRANA, Mr. Rezvani was taken into custody after reporting to the Criminal Enforcement Branch of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office in Gachsaran. He was then transferred to the city’s prison.

In January 2023, Mr. Rezvani was sentenced by the Gachsaran Revolutionary Court to eight months in prison for “propaganda against the regime” through his online activities and an additional one year, three months, and one day for “insulting the Supreme Leader,” with his previous detention time considered.

Rezvani was initially arrested on September 21, 2022, during the nationwide protests and was released on bail in late December of that year. His first case was closed in February 2023 following the issuance of an amnesty decree.

On July 6, 2022, an inmate who is convicted of murder was executed in Gachsaran Prison.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, on July 6, 2022, an inmate identified by HRANA as Hadi Moradi was executed in Gachsaran Prison.

This execution has not been reported by the official sources and media outlets inside Iran so far. 

Haal Vsh News also reported that today, in Zahedan Prison, an inmate was relocated to solitary confinement awaiting execution. This inmate has been identified as Behzad Narooie, age 33, who was convicted of drug-related crimes.

The most recent report from the Statistics and Publication Center of the Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA) states that between January 1 of 2021 and December 20 of 2021, at least 299 citizens, including four juvenile offenders, were executed. In addition, 85 citizens were sentenced to death in this period. 

As the report points out, Iran’s judicial authorities do not publicly announce over 88% of executions. These unreported executions are known as “secret executions” by human rights organizations.
