HRANA – At dawn yesterday, July 24, the death sentences of two prisoners previously convicted on drug-related charges were carried out in Hamedan Prison.
HRANA has identified the two men hanged at dawn on Thursday, July 24, 2025, as Ashkan Mehdipanah and Mehdi Heidari.
According to information received by HRANA, both individuals had been arrested on drug-related charges and sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court.

According to HRANA’s report, in 2024, over 52 percent of executed prisoners had been convicted on drug-related charges. Over the past ten years, individuals convicted of drug trafficking have accounted for 40 percent of all executions. Unfortunately, HRANA’s statistics show no progress in reducing executions for drug-related offenses.
