Two Prisoners Executed in Hamedan Prison

HRANA News Agency – At dawn today, June 2, two prisoners previously sentenced to death on drug-related charges were executed in Hamedan Prison.

HRANA has identified the two individuals as Navid Hodavand-Khani and Naeem Naseri.

According to information obtained by HRANA, both had been arrested on drug-related charges and later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

The prisoners were transferred to solitary confinement on May 31 in preparation for the execution.

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.
