At dawn on Monday, September 9, the death sentences of two prisoners convicted of murder were carried out in Miandoab Prison, according to a report by Kurdpa.
Their identities have been reported as “Soleiman Ghahremani, from Shahin Dezh, and Feyzollah Hosseinpour, married and father of three, from Shahin Dezh and residing in Bukan.”
These two prisoners were arrested five years ago on murder charges and were subsequently sentenced to death by the judiciary.
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.
According to the Department of Statistics and Publication of Human Rights Activists in Iran, in 2023, at least 767 citizens, including 21 women and 2 juvenile offenders, were executed. Of these, the executions of 7 individuals were carried out in public. Additionally, during this period, 172 others were sentenced to death, with 5 of them sentenced to public execution. It is worth noting that during the same period, the initial death sentences of 49 other individuals were also upheld by the Supreme Court.
