On March 4, 2024, Adelabad Prison officials in Shiraz carried out the execution of two inmates, according to the Iran Human Rights Organization.
The individuals executed were Mostafa Jamil Samadi, 40 years old, and an Afghan national known by the first name Iman. Mostafa Jamil Samadi faced execution for drug-related crimes, while Iman was convicted of murder.
No official sources or domestic media outlets within the country have provided coverage of these executions at the time of writing. The lack of official information raises concerns about transparency and accountability in the execution process.
