Yesterday, Wednesday, October 15, the death sentences of three prisoners were carried out in Adelabad Prison in Shiraz.

HRANA has confirmed the identities of two of those executed as Milad Jahani and Sajjad Shahriari Golmakani. Jahani had previously been arrested on charges related to drug offenses and later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

According to information obtained by HRANA, Mr. Shahriari was arrested about nine years ago on charges of killing his wife and was subsequently sentenced to death by a criminal court.

A source close to Shahriari’s family confirmed the news to HRANA, stating:
“The victim’s family had announced they were willing to grant forgiveness in exchange for diya (blood money). The requested amount was initially 3 billion tomans, which was later increased to 5, 8, and finally 12 billion tomans. Due to the family’s inability to raise the amount, his execution was ultimately carried out this morning.”

The third prisoner was also executed on drug-related charges, but HRANA is still investigating his identity.

According to HRANA’s statistics, in 2024, Adelabad Prison in Shiraz witnessed the execution of 92 inmates, an 88% increase compared to the previous year. This sharp rise places Adelabad as the second deadliest prison in Iran after Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
