Iranian Human Rights Society; Dawn on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. The death sentence of five prisoners named Saeed Moghadam, Sajjad Yousefi, Nasser, Reza, and Nasser Iranshahi were carried out in Arak prison on drug charges.
An informed source told the Iranian Human Rights Society: “These five people were arrested and sentenced to death on charges of carrying drugs.”
There is no information about other details or the duration of imprisonment of these prisoners.
Including the execution of these five prisoners, the number of executions since the beginning of the Iranian year 1401 has reached at least 417 people.
This is while the actual number of executions is more than this number and many death sentences are carried out secretly and no one is informed about it.
It is worth mentioning that on Tuesday, November 8, two prisoners were executed in Zahedan prison on charges of murdering several military officers.
With the efficiency of Gholamhossein Mohseni Ajei and Ebrahim Raisi, the speed of executions has increased shockingly. Earlier, the judiciary had requested to speed up executions in a circular.
