HRANA – At dawn on Thursday, July 31, four prisoners, including one woman, who had previously been sentenced to death in separate cases on drug-related charges, were executed in Adelabad Prison in Shiraz.
HRANA has confirmed the identities of two of the executed individuals as Abolfazl Alaei, 48, and Nahid Jokar (female), 52, both from Shiraz. The identities of the other two prisoners, who were nationals of Afghanistan, are still being verified.
According to information obtained by HRANA, all four prisoners had been arrested in separate cases on charges related to drug offenses and were later sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.
As of the time of this report, the executions have not been officially announced by prison authorities or other relevant institutions.
According to HRANA’s statistics, in 2024, Adelabad Prison in Shiraz witnessed the execution of 92 inmates — an 88% increase compared to the previous year. This sharp rise places Adelabad as the second deadliest prison in Iran after Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
