HRANA– On Wednesday, July 9, a prisoner previously sentenced to death for the murder of four women was executed in public in the Baruq District of Miandoab County.
According to Mizan News Agency, the Chief Justice of West Azerbaijan Province stated: “The convict was accused of committing four counts of premeditated murder of Muslim women in the Baruq District of Miandoab. After proceedings in the prosecutor’s office and criminal court—with the presence of the defendant, their attorney, and the victims’ families—the Criminal Court Branch One issued a death sentence, which was later upheld by the Supreme Court.”
Nasser Atabati added: “At the request of the victims’ families, the death sentence was carried out at dawn today in public in the Baruq District of Miandoab County.”
In 2024, according to 812 reports compiled by HRANA, the Iranian regime executed 930 individuals in its prisons—marking the highest number of executions in the past 12 years. Despite the scale of these executions, prison officials and other relevant authorities publicly acknowledged only 6% of them, highlighting the regime’s lack of transparency and accountability.
