    27 Prisoners Executed in Iran- 206 Executions So Far in June

    Iran Human Rights, June 17, 2015: Official Iranian media has reported about the execution of 27 people yesterday and today.

    According to the website of the Iranian State Broadcasting, Jam News, 25 prisoners were hanged in the Rajaishahr prison of Karaj (west of Tehran) Tuesday morning June 16. “Most of the prisoners were convicted of drug related charges” said the report which called the prisoners “criminals and drug traffickers”. None of the prisoners were identified by name.

    Two other prisoners were hanged in two different Iranian cities early this morning. According to Tabnak news website, one of the prisoners was charged with Moharebeh (waging war against God) for kidnapping, carrying arms and distribution of alcoholic beverages. The prisoner who was not identified by name was 33 year old and was hanged early Wednesday morning in the prison of Mashhad (Northeastern Iran) said the report.

    The other prisoner who was hanged on Wednesday morning was 43 years old and identified as “M. Z.”. He was charged with murder and hanged in the prison of Sari (Northern Iran).

    According to reports collected by IHR so far in June at least 206 people have been executed in different Iranian cities. 60 of the executions have been announced by the official sources while IHR has managed to confirm 146 other executions which have not been announced by the authorities.

    IHR condemns the arbitrary executions in Iran and calls for international reactions. Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of IHR said: “The number of executions in Iran is unprecedented in the last 20 years. So far in June the Iranian authorities have executed 12 people each day, while the international community continues its meaningful silence”.

    Two Prisoners Hanged to Death in Rasht on Saturday

    Iran Human Rights, June 15, 2015: According to official reports from the Department of Justice in Gilan, two prisoners with drug related charges were hanged to death in Lakan Prison (I.e. Rasht Central Prison) on Saturday morning. The report identifies the prisoners as E.M., 54 years old and Q.P., 44 years old.

    The report claims that E.M. was charged with possession of 994 Kilograms of heroin and Q.P. was charged with selling, buying, and possessing 24 Kilograms of opium.


    Ghezelhesar Mass-Executions Continue: 11 Executions on Wednesday 10. June

    Iran Human Rights, June 13, 2015: According to sources Iran Human Rights (IHR) has been in contact with, 11 prisoners were hanged in Ghezel Hesar Prison on Wednesday June 10. These prisoners, who had mainly been transferred to solitary confinement on Saturday June 6, were convicted of drug related charges.

    IHR reported on June 6 about the transfer of 25 prisoners with drug charges for execution. These prisoners had been transferred from different rooms of Unit 2 of Ghezel Hesar Prison and the “Anti-narcotic headquarters”. 11 of the prisoners were executed on Monday June 8.

    According to our sources, 10 of the 11 prisoners who were executed on June 10 were: Reza Mansouri, Mostafa Kouhi, Salar Mahmoudzadeh, Reza Karegari, Behrouz Sahraei, Ali Taghipour, Yousef Kounani, Masoud Abbasi, Mohammad Jannati, and Hassan Nourmohammadi.

    At the present moment 22 of the 25 prisoners have been executed, while three of the prisoners were reportedly not executed and are still in the quarantine section of the prison. These prisoners are identified as Jasem Veysi, Ali Afshari and Gholamreza Soltani.

    Since May 6 Iranian authorities have executed 77 people in Ghezel Hesar Prison. IHR has repeatedly called on the international community to react to these executions. However, the international community has still maintained its silence.

    IHR recently published a video containing testimonies from two of the death row prisoners of Ghezel Hesar speaking about torture under interrogations.

    Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of IHR said: “Iranian authorities claim that these prisoners belong to groups of armed drug smugglers, but many of the prisoners we have investigated belong to the marginalized parts of the Iranian society who were arrested in the big Iranian cities. After their arrest, these prisoners are systematically subjected to torture until they confess to the charges, then they are sentenced to death behind closed doors at the Revolutionary Court. These executions are unlawful, even according to the Iranian constitution. Iranian leaders must be held responsible for these crimes.”

    13 People Executed- Three Public Executions in Front of Children

    Iran Human Rights, June 10, 2015: According to the Iranian state media 13 people have been executed in different Iranian cities.

    Two men were publicly hanged in the town of “Shahr Babak” (Kerman province, Southeastern Iran) Tuesday morning June 9, reported Iranian state media. The prisoners who were not identified by name were convicted of raping a woman, said the report. The report also said that more than 4000 people watched the executions. Pictures published by the Iranian media show several children among the public. This is contrary to what Javad Larijani, head of the human rights council of the Judiciary recently had claimed in a written response to the UN Special raporteurs Ahmed Shaheed and Christopher Heyns. He has stated that the authorities take appropriate measure “to avoid presence of minors at the scene of the executions”

    One man was hanged publicly in the city of Shiraz (southern Iran). The official website of the Judiciary in Fars province reported that the man was identified as “Ali H.”, charged with raping a 12 year old boy. The execution took place in “Shahid Gholami” Square of Shiraz Tuesday morning June 9.

    The official website of the Judiciary in Hormozgan province reported about the execution of 8 prisoners in the prison of Bandar Abbas (southern Iran) Monday morning June 8. The prisoners who were not identified by name, were charged with drug-related offences said the report.

    Iranian media also reported about the execution of one woman convicted of murdering her husband. Jam News reported that the woman was 32 years old. The report didn’t state the exact day of the execution. But the group “Human rights and democracy activists in Iran” reported about the execution of two prisoners on June 8 in Ghezelhesar prison of Karaj (West of Tehran).

    One man was hanged in the prison of Ghaemshahr on June 8. The state run Fars news agency reported that the prisoner who was identified as “M. K.” was charged with murder.


    Mass-Executions Continue: 11 Executed in Ghezelhesar Prison

    Iran Human Rights, June 8, 2015: According to reports by reliable sources, 11 prisoners were hanged in the Ghezelhesar prison of Karaj (west of Tehran) early Monday morning.

    On Saturday IHR reported about the transfer of 25 prisoners to the quarantine of the Ghezelhesar prison for execution. The number increased to 47 as IHR received reports about the transfer of additional 22 prisoners from Rajai Shahr and Greater Tehran Central prison to Gehzelhesar for execution.

    The remaining prisoners are being held in the quarantine of the prison and their executions can be implemented in the coming hours or days.

    All of these prisoners are convicted of drug offences. One of the prisoners who was hanged today is identified as “Mahmood Samimi” (picture).

    Since May 6, at least 67 prisoners convicted of drug offences have been executed in the Ghezelhesar prison of Karaj (west of Tehran). The executions dramatically increased after a group of Ghezelhesar death row prisoners gathered in the prison yard calling on the Iranian Supreme leader Ali Khamenei to reduce their sentences. This happened on May 21. Since then prisoners have been executed every week in groups of 11 up to 22 executions at a time.

    The international community has not reacted to these executions yet.


    IRAN: 25 Prisoners Transferred for Execution- International Community Maintains its Silence

    Iran Human Rights, June 6, 2015: According to reports by reliable sources in Iran, 25 prisoners have been transferred to solitary confinement in the Ghezelhesar prison of Karaj (west of Tehran). These prisoners are scheduled to be executed in the coming two days. All the prisoners are charged with drug-related offences. Previous reports from IHR shows that many of the prisoners charged with drug offences are subjected to torture, forced confessions and unfair trials.

    According to reports by IHR, 56 prisoners have been executed in the Ghezelhesar prison of Karaj since May 6. 44 of these executions have taken place following a peaceful gathering of the prisoners in the prison yard where they were carrying handwritten banners asking the Iranian Supreme leader Ali Khamenei for reduction in their sentences. If the 25 prisoners transferred today are executed the number of executions for drug offences in the Ghezelhesar prison will pass 80. There are more than 2000 prisoners who are on the death row for drug offences in this prison.

    IHR strongly condemns the unprecedented number of executions in one prison, and calls for the international community to stop its silence and show immediate reaction.

    Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of IHR said: “Hundreds of prisoners are in serious danger of execution. The United Nations, European Union and all countries with diplomatic ties with Iran must stop their silence and react immediately in order to stop a humanitarian disaster in the Iranian prisons.

    24 of the prisoners who were transferred today were from different rooms in the Unit 2 of Ghezelhesar prison, while one prisoner identified as “H. N.” was transferred from the new “Cenra prison of the greater Tehran”. According to IHR’s sources “H. N.” stubbed and murdered an Afghan prisoner while being transferred and his execution is most probably postponed due to the new “murder” charges. Seven of the prisoners from the Unit 2 (room no. 1) of Ghezelhesar are identified as: “Reza Mansouri, Reza Karegari, Jasem Veisi, Salar mahmoudzadeh, Ali Taghipour, Behrouz Sahraei and Mostafa Kouhi”.

    Iranian Authorities Hang Three Men to Death for Rape

    Iran Human Rights, July 26, 2015: Three prisoners were hanged to death in a compound at Ilam Central Prison on Saturday morning, according to the Public Relations Department of the Province of Ilam quoting Ilam’s Chief Justice. The prisoners, announced as A.K., R.A., and N.SH, were reportedly executed for the mutual kidnapping and rape of a woman. Their execution sentences were reportedly confirmed by Branch 22 of Iran’s Supreme Court.

    Post Iran Deal and Ramadan: Up to 12 Prisoners Executed on Wednesday

    Iran Human Rights, July 23 2015: According to official reports, on Wednesday morning up to 11 prisoners charged with murder were hanged to death in Rajai Shahr Prison. Prior to the executions Iranian authorities had reportedly transferred 12 prisoners from their respective wards to solitary confinement and spared the life of one of them after he was forgiven by plaintiffs.

    Sources in Rajai Shahr Prison have reported to IHR the names of three of the prisoners who were hanged to death: Hossein Yazdani (from Ward 1), Albolalhassan Mousavi (from Ward 2) and Amir Salehi (from Ward 6). IHR has been able to confirm nine of the executions carried out on Wednesday in Rajai Shahr.

    On the same day the Judiciary in Isfahan reported on the execution of a prisoner announced as “S.B.” who was charged with rape. The prisoner was reportedly hanged to death on Wednesday, but details about the location of the execution was not published.

    Iran Human Rights and other human rights NGOs had feared the Iranian authorities would resume with the execution of prisoners after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. On Tuesday IHR had issued a report warning about executions planned for Wednesday morning in Rajai Shahr.

    Wednesday’s group executions demonstrate no signs of change in improvement for the human rights situation in Iran following the nuclear agreement. The Iranian authorities are continuing with their policies of executing prisoners and spreading fear and terror among Iranians. “We call on the international community to put human rights, particularly executions, at the top of their agenda in talks with Iran,” says Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, executive director of Iran Human Rights.

    Another 2 hanged in Iran, 10 more on death row

    Two more prisoners were hanged Monday morning in Iran’s notorious Qezelhesar Prison in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran.

    The two prisoners were identified as Saeid Ganji and Firouz Nouri-Majd.

    Ganji, Nouri-Majd and at least one other prisoner in Qezelhesar Prison were transferred to solitary confinement on Sunday in preparation for their execution, and their relatives were contacted to meet with them in the prison for a final time.

    There are reports that the number of prisoners awaiting imminent execution in the jail could in fact be higher.

    Another 10 death-row prisoners in Iran have been transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for their execution.

    Nine prisoners, being held in a detention center in Karaj, west of Tehran, were transferred to solitary confinement on Saturday in preparation for their execution. On Sunday, their relatives were told to come to the jail to meet for a final time with their loved ones.

    The nine prisoners were identified as Omid Mohammadi-Dara, Mostafa Ghafarzadeh, Omidreza Karampour, Shahriar Hassan-Zadeh, Hossein Afghan, Yareh Hassan-Zadeh, Sasan Salari, Meysam Hosseini-Nejad, and Amanollah Baluch-Zehi.

    At least 18 prisoners have been executed in Iran in the past six days.

    Faced with escalating popular discontent and unable to respond to the rightful demands of the majority of the Iranian people who are living under the poverty line, the religious fascism ruling Iran - dubbed the ‘godfather of ISIS’ by the Iranian people - is ramping up suppression.

    On Thursday, Amnesty International said that the Iranian regime has executed an astonishing 694 people between January 1 and July 15, 2015.

    “Iran’s staggering execution toll for the first half of this year paints a sinister picture of the machinery of state carrying out premeditated judicially-sanctioned killing on a mass scale,” it said.

    Since mullah Hasssan Rouhani took office as President, more than 1,800 prisoners have been executed in Iran.
