HRANA News Agency – At dawn on Saturday, March 1, a female prisoner convicted of murdering her ex-husband was executed in Isfahan Prison.
According to HRANA, citing the Iran Human Rights Organization, the executed prisoner has been identified as Nasrin Barani, 29 years old.
Ms. Barani was arrested four years ago on charges of killing her former husband. She was later sentenced to death by the Criminal Court. Reports indicate that she had lived with her first husband for six years before divorcing him. After remarrying, she was accused of committing the murder due to ongoing harassment from her ex-husband.
As of the time of this report, Iranian authorities and prison officials have not publicly announced her execution.
In 2024, the Department of Statistics and Publication of Human Rights Activists in Iran documented 812 cases related to the right to life, including the sentencing of 214 individuals to death and the execution of 930 individuals. Among these, 4 executions were carried out in public. Of those executed, 818 were male, 26 were female, and 5 were juvenile offenders—individuals under 18 years old at the time of their alleged crimes.
