Iran: 10 Executions in Urmia, Ghezel Hesar, and Mashhad Prisons on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday

Inmate Denied Hospital Transfer Dies in Zahedan Prison

On Wednesday, April 17, 2024, the Iranian regime’s executioners hanged Faramarz Tayyeb Bakhsheh, Sadegh Tajik, and another prisoner named Hossein in Qezelhessar Prison. On Monday, April 15, five prisoners named Behrouz Namdar, Mostafa Abdi, Javad Beigi, Ghasem Nasrollahzadeh, and Ali Ahmadi were hanged in Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. On Saturday, April 13, Abolfazl Salem and Afshin Bagh Shirin were hanged in Urmia Central Prison.

On Tuesday, April 16, a Baluch compatriot named Ahmad Gorgij, who was sentenced to death, died in Zahedan Prison due to the prison guards’ refusal to provide him with medical treatment. Ahmad Gorgij, who had been in prison for five years, had been suffering from severe heart and kidney disease for the past year. Despite his deteriorating health since April 14, prison officials took no action to transfer him to the hospital.

The Iranian Resistance once again urges the United Nations, relevant organizations, the European Union, and its member states to take immediate action to stop the machinery of torture and execution in the warmongering mullahs’ dictatorship. The ringleaders of this regime, especially Ali Khamenei, Ebrahim Raisi, and Gholamhossein Eje’i, must be brought to justice for four decades of crimes against humanity and genocide.
