HRANA – At dawn on Thursday, October 16, 2025, the death sentences of two prisoners previously convicted on drug-related charges were carried out in Kerman Prison.

HRANA has identified one of the executed prisoners as Jaber Nadi. The identity of the other prisoner is still being verified.
Based on information obtained by HRANA, the prisoners had been arrested on drug-related charges and later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

As of the time of this report, prison authorities and responsible institutions have not yet officially announced the executions.

According to HRANA’s report, in 2024, over 52 percent of executed prisoners had been convicted on drug-related charges. Over the past ten years, individuals convicted of drug trafficking have accounted for 40 percent of all executions. Unfortunately, HRANA’s statistics show no progress in reducing executions for drug-related offenses.
