At dawn on Sunday, October 19, two prisoners were executed in Shahr-e Kord Prison.

HRANA has identified one of the executed prisoners as Samad Azizi, while Iran Human Rights has identified the second as Moslem Soleimani Dehkordi, aged 40 and a resident of Shahr-e Kord.

Both prisoners had been sentenced to death on murder charges.

As of the time of this report, the executions have not been officially announced by prison or judicial authorities.

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.
