HRANA News Agency – At dawn on Saturday, May 17, the death sentences of two prisoners previously convicted of murder were carried out in the prisons of Kermanshah and Ilam.
HRANA has learned that Sirus Jafari was executed in Dizelabad Prison in Kermanshah, and Behrouz Fathollahi was executed in Ilam Prison.
These individuals had been arrested in separate cases on charges of murder and were later sentenced to death by criminal courts.
As of the time of this report, the executions have not been officially announced by prison authorities or relevant institutions.
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.
