Hengaw: Tuesday, December 3, 2024

The death sentence for at least four Kurdish prisoners, including two women, previously convicted of premeditated murder, was carried out in Ilam Central Prison. Hengaw has verified the identities of these prisoners as Farideh Jafarzadeh, Aliyeh Kavari-Zadeh, Hassan Hassanbeigi, and Abdolvahab Babakhaniyan.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, early on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, the executions of Farideh Jafarzadeh from Ilam, Aliyeh Kavari-Zadeh from Dehloran, Hassan Hassanbeigi from Sarab Karzan, and Abdolvahab Babakhaniyan from Badreh were carried out in Ilam Central Prison.

Hengaw’s earlier report had noted the execution of one man and two women. With the identification of 60-year-old Abdolvahab Babakhaniyan, the number of executed prisoners has risen to four.

These four prisoners had previously been sentenced to death in separate cases by the judiciary for charges of premeditated murder. Aliyeh Kavari-Zadeh, aged 60, had been sentenced to death for the murder of her husband.

As of the time this report was prepared, news of these executions has not been announced by state-run media, including outlets affiliated with the judiciary.
