Two prisoners previously sentenced to death in separate cases involving drug-related charges and murder were executed in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj and Zahedan Prison.

According to Haal Vsh, on the morning of Sunday, November 10, 2024, an Afghan national was hanged in Zahedan Prison. His identity has been confirmed as Mohammad-Nabi Papal Zehi, approximately 28 years old, married, and a resident of Zabol.

He was arrested two years ago in connection with drug-related charges in Zahedan and was subsequently sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court of the city. He had been transferred to solitary confinement a day before the execution and was allowed a final meeting with his family.

According to Kurdpa, separately, on Wednesday, November 6, another prisoner, identified as Mojtaba Ghasemi, a resident of a village in Harsin County, was executed in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
