HRANA News Agency – In recent days, the death sentences of two prisoners previously convicted of murder were carried out in Arak and Qom prisons.
On the morning of Tuesday, June 24, Azim Mohammadi was executed in Qom Prison. One day earlier, on Monday, June 23, Habib Soleimani was executed in Arak Prison.
Soleimani had been arrested on murder charges and later sentenced to death by a criminal court. Azim Mohammadi had also been arrested four years ago on charges of murdering his wife, who was also his cousin. He was subsequently sentenced to death by a criminal court.
As of the time of this report, prison and judicial authorities have not officially announced these executions.
In 2024, according to 812 reports compiled by HRANA, the Iranian regime executed 930 individuals in its prisons—marking the highest number of executions in the past 12 years. Despite the scale of these executions, prison officials and other relevant authorities publicly acknowledged only 6% of them, highlighting the regime’s lack of transparency and accountability.
