Iran: Execution of Six Prisoners on Monday, May 19, and at Least 45 Executions Between May 11 and May 20
Among the limited institutions that persist in operating incessantly and rapidly, despite the ongoing significant political and economic crises of the clerical regime, is the formidable machinery of execution, killing, and repression. With unimaginable cruelty and brutality, Khamenei dispatches an increasing number of prisoners, particularly young individuals, to the gallows each day to prevent a potential uprising by the aggrieved masses. A solitary record of documented executions over the recent ten days (May 11 to May 20) totals 45 cases. The actual figures are higher and will be updated accordingly.
On Tuesday, May 20, the executioners hanged Gooran Ghaderi in Sanandaj and Adnan Labakpour in Ilam. On Monday, May 19, six prisoners were executed: Ebrahim Narouei, 24, and Majid Faramarzi, 26, in Zahedan; Alireza Gholibeigi, 33, in Qom; Alireza Zarei and Mosayyeb Farhadi in Shiraz; and another unidentified prisoner in Arak.
On Sunday, May 18, Asghar Baghbani, aged 29, was executed at Neyshabur Prison. Concurrently, Mojtaba Mansouri was executed at Yazd Prison. On Saturday, May 17, Behrouz Fathollahi was hanged in Ilam, while Sirous Jafari, aged 27, was executed at Dizelabad Prison in Kermanshah. Additionally, Mohammadvali Ahangari, aged 27, faced execution in Khorramabad.
Additionally, beyond the prisoners whose names were included in the previous statement, four prisoners— including Ali Akbar Ansari in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan and a prisoner named Abdollah in Zabol— were executed on Thursday, May 15. On Wednesday, May 14, eight prisoners were hanged, including Naser Hamidi, 34, and Isa Ahmadi, 30, in Adelabad Prison in Shiraz, as well as Mohammad Naeem Danesh, 40, in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. On Tuesday, May 13, five prisoners, including Behrouz Baharvand and another individual, were executed in Khorramabad Prison. On Monday, May 12, nine prisoners were executed, and on Sunday, May 11, six prisoners— including Majid Azizi and Mehdi Zohrevand in Arak— were executed.
Thus, between May 11 and May 20, at least 45 prisoners were executed.
