Iranian Human Rights Society, quoted by Baluchistan media; At dawn on Sunday, November 27, 2022, the death sentence of a 23-year-old Baloch prisoner named Zubair Brahui was executed in Zahedan prison on drug charges.

Zubair Brahui (Zirkari), 23 years old, was the son of Sirajuddin from Zahedan Children’s Park area.

According to these reports, Zubair was arrested in Kerman in 2018 on drug-related charges. And was sentenced to death by the Kerman Revolutionary Court in 2019. He was then transferred to Zahedan and was imprisoned in Ward 4 of Zahedan Central Prison.

It is worth mentioning that a Baloch prisoner named Mohammad Isa Zahi was executed in Zahedan prison.

Including execution of these two prisoners , at least 434 people executed since beginning of Iranian year 1401. And at least 530 people have been executed since the beginning of the year 2022. This is while many executions are carried out secretly and news is not published anywhere. So actual number of executions is much higher than this figure.

With Gholamhossein Mohseni Ajei and Ebrahim Raisi taking office, the speed of executions has increased shockingly. Earlier in a circular, the judiciary demanded to speed up the execution of sentences.

The Iranian Human Rights Center has warned against the speedy process of executing death sentences and demands a stop to this crime.
