Baloch prisoner Ali Dahani executed in Zahedan Central Prison

Hengaw: Tuesday, April 15, 2025

The death sentence of Ali Dahani, a young Baloch man, was carried out in Zahedan Central Prison, the capital of Sistan and Baluchestan province. Dahani had been sentenced to death for “premeditated murder” while serving mandatory military service.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, at dawn on Monday, April 14, 2025, Ali Dahani, 22, from Gank village in Sib and Suran County, was executed in Zahedan Central Prison.

As reported by the Baloch Activists Campaign, Ali Dahani became involved in an altercation with fellow servicemen at the Kaskin outpost in Bampur shortly after the “Bloody Friday” massacre in Zahedan in 2022. The incident, which occurred on November 6, 2022, reportedly stemmed from verbal insults and mockery that escalated into a violent clash, during which four military personnel were killed. Dahani was arrested while attempting to flee the scene.

Following his arrest, he was transferred to Zahedan, where he was sentenced to death on charges of murdering armed forces personnel and membership in armed opposition groups.

As of the time of publication, state media and judiciary-affiliated outlets have not reported on the execution of Ali Dahani.
