Iran’s judiciary executed at least six more prisoners, including a woman, in various prisons across the country. These executions—carried out in the prisons of Qom, Nahavand, Rasht, and Ahvaz—have raised further concerns about the sharp rise in death sentences and the unfair judicial process in Iran.
Execution of Three Prisoners, Including a Woman, in Qom
At dawn on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, three prisoners were executed in Qom prison. Two of them were men named Hadi Nasri and Fereydoun Naziri:
Hadi Nasri, 26 years old and from Robat Karim, had been arrested three years earlier on charges of murder and sentenced to death.
Fereydoun Naziri, 36 years old and from Mehrshahr, Karaj, had also been arrested three years earlier on similar charges and sentenced to death.
The identity of the woman who was executed alongside them has not yet been confirmed.
