Over 79 Executed in April
In the ongoing surge of executions in Iran, two prisoners—Feyzollah Karami (from Varamin) and Sohrab Heydari (from Shahr-e Rey)—were executed at Qom Central Prison on the morning of Tuesday, April 15, 2025. Both had been arrested in recent years on drug-related charges and sentenced to death.
Additionally, on the morning of Wednesday, April 9, 2025, a 27-year-old prisoner named Shamseddin Fazli was executed in Tabriz Prison. He had been arrested three years earlier on charges of murder.
According to reports, at least 79 prisoners have been executed in Iran since the beginning of the Persian month of Farvardin (starting March 21). This means that, on average, more than two people are executed every day—one every 12 hours. This alarming trend has sparked serious concern among human rights organizations both inside and outside the country.
