HRANA– At dawn on Sunday, July 27, the death sentences of two prisoners previously convicted of murder were carried out in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan.

The identities of the two individuals have been confirmed by HRANA as Alireza Mir-Foroughi, 46 years old and a resident of Isfahan, and Saleh Hatami, a resident of Khuzestan.

According to information received by HRANA, Alireza Mir-Foroughi had been arrested on murder charges and later sentenced to death by the Criminal Court. Mr. Hatami was also arrested four years ago on similar charges and sentenced to death.

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

According to HRANA’s statistics, in 2024, 61 inmates were hanged in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan — a 74% increase compared to the previous year. This sharp rise reflects a disturbing escalation in executions at this facility.
