HRANA – On Wednesday, August 6, the Judiciary’s Media Center announced the execution of two prisoners, Roozbeh Vadi and Mehdi Asgharzadeh. Vadi was convicted of “espionage and intelligence cooperation with Israel,” while Asgharzadeh was sentenced for alleged membership in the group ISIS.

According to the Judiciary, the two men—identified as Roozbeh Vadi and Mehdi Asgharzadeh—were hanged at dawn. Vadi was accused of collaborating with Israel while employed at what authorities described as a “sensitive and high-level” government institution. Mizan, the official news outlet of the Judiciary, alleged that he committed “extensive crimes against national security” that severely disrupted public order.

The Judiciary has not released information regarding the date of Vadi’s arrest, the judicial process, or the court that issued the death sentence.

Asgharzadeh, who was also referred to in the report by the aliases “Abu Khaled” and “Hesam,” was accused of undergoing military training in Syria and Iraq, and planning terrorist operations within Iran. The Judiciary claims he entered the country via the mountainous western border and was eventually arrested by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence.

He was sentenced to death on charges of “corruption on earth” through alleged activities with the terrorist and takfiri group ISIS and actions against public security. As with Vadi, no details were provided about his arrest, trial proceedings, or the prison where the execution took place.
