HRANA News Agency – The death sentences of six prisoners, including one woman, were recently carried out in the prisons of Tabriz, Qom, and Neyshabur. These individuals had been previously convicted on charges related to drug offenses, murder, and armed robbery.

According to Iran Human Rights, at dawn on Saturday, June 28, authorities executed a prisoner in Neyshabur Prison. The individual was identified as Babak Mostafavi, 27, a resident of Neyshabur. He had been sentenced to death by the judiciary on drug-related charges. Prior to his arrest, he worked as a forklift driver.

Additionally, on Tuesday, June 24, two prisoners, including a woman, were executed in Qom Prison. They were identified as Hassan Rostamnejad and Tal’at Sabzi, 47. Rostamnejad had been arrested four years ago on murder charges and later sentenced to death. Sabzi had been arrested five years ago for allegedly killing her husband and was also sentenced to death.

Earlier, at dawn on Sunday, June 18, authorities executed three prisoners in Tabriz Prison. The executed individuals were identified as Hadi Ahmadian, 37, Abbas Partovi, and Mohammad Shokri, 42, all from Tabriz.

According to the report, Shokri and Ahmadian were arrested three years ago in a joint case involving the possession of 80 kilograms of narcotics and were later sentenced to death. Partovi had been arrested around the same time on charges of armed robbery and was also handed a death sentence.

As of the time of this report, prison authorities and official institutions have not publicly announced these executions.

On June 2, 2024, an inmate convicted of murder was executed at Neyshabur Prison, located in Razavi Khorasan Province, as reported by the Iran Human Rights Organization.

Iman Rezaiepour, a 40-year-old father of two, had been sentenced to death for murder three years prior. Previously, he had been placed in solitary confinement twice while awaiting execution, but he recevied a reprieve in order to get amnesty from the victim’s family, who demanded five billion tomans (approximately 100,000 dollars) as blood money to spare his life. However, he was unable to raise the required sum.

No official sources or domestic media outlets within the country have provided coverage of these executions at the time of writing. In 2023, 66% of HRANA’s reports on executions lacked official announcements by judicial authorities and went unreported by media inside Iran, highlighting a troubling lack of transparency in due process.

In 2023, the Department of Statistics and Publication of Human Rights Activists in Iran registered the execution of 767 individuals. Out of these, 7 were carried out in public. Among the executed individuals whose genders were identified, 21 were female. Additionally, 2 juvenile offenders, defined as individuals under the age of 18 at the time of their alleged crimes, were also executed.
