HRANA has identified the three individuals as Hamzeh (Yaghoub) Yari, Karim Hemmati, and Saman Khorrami. All three had been sentenced to death on drug-related charges.

One day prior, HRANA had reported that at least three prisoners had been transferred to solitary confinement in the prison in preparation for their executions.

As of the time of this report, the executions have not been officially announced by prison authorities or relevant institutions.
In 2024, a total of 191 inmates were executed in Alborz province alone — equivalent to 7 executions per 100,000 people in this small province.
