HRANA – On Wednesday, October 29, at least six prisoners were executed in Ghezel Hesar Prison.

According to Hamshahri newspaper, four of the executed prisoners had been sentenced to death on murder charges.

In addition, according to reports obtained by HRANA, two other prisoners with similar charges were also executed in the same prison. HRANA has confirmed the identities of two of the executed prisoners as Zakaria Mohammad Khanlou and Javad Naeimi. These individuals had previously been tried in separate criminal cases and sentenced to death.

As of the time of this report, the executions of two of these prisoners have not been announced by prison officials or relevant authorities.

Further details, including the identities of the other four executed prisoners, are still being investigated by HRANA.

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.
