HRANA– Ali Mojaddam, Moein Khanfari, and Mohammadreza Moghaddam, three political prisoners on death row in Sepidar Prison, Ahvaz, were transferred to solitary confinement on June 26, 2025. Their move has heightened their families’ fears that the executions may be carried out soon.

According to HRANA, prison authorities shifted the men from the general ward to solitary cells on that date, without giving any explanation.

Ali Mojaddam, Mohammadreza Moghaddam, Moein Khanfari, Habib Deris, Adnan Ghobishavi, and Salem Mousavi were arrested by security forces in Khuzestan Province in February 2019.

Feb-Mar, 2023, the Ahvaz Revolutionary Court sentenced: Mojaddam and Moghaddam to death for “leadership and membership in the military wing of the Harakat al-Nidal (in Iran),” deemed an armed rebellion against the Islamic Republic. Khanfari, Deris, Ghobishavi, and Mousavi to death for membership in the same group on the same charge. All verdicts are currently under review by the Supreme Court.

In October 2023, Mojaddam, Moghaddam, Khanfari, and Ghobishavi were moved from Sheiban Prison to Sepidar Prison.
