HRANA-Over the past Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, four prisoners were executed on drug-related charges in Ghezel Hesar Prison.

On Thursday, August 28, the death sentence of a prisoner named Mehdi Raoufi was carried out. He had previously been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court. On Saturday, two more prisoners were executed in this prison. HRANA has confirmed their identities as Ahmadali Mehripour and Hamid Kakavand.

Finally, on Sunday, Soleiman Koushki was executed. He, too, had previously been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

As of the time of this report, the execution of these prisoners has not been announced by prison officials or relevant authorities.

According to HRANA’s statistics, Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj carried out the highest number of executions among all Iranian prisons, with 150 inmates hanged. This figure has nearly doubled compared to the previous year – a deeply alarming increase that underscores the escalating use of capital punishment in Iran.
