The death sentence of a Baloch prisoner named Mosafer Razgar, who was previously sentenced to death for "premeditated murder,” was carried out in Mashhad Central Prison. Additionally, another Baloch prisoner named Khairullah Nahtani, who was previously sentenced to death for drug-related offenses, was executed in Zahedan Central Prison.

According to a report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on the morning of Thursday, December 14, 2023, the death sentence of Mosafer Razgar, 29, from Mashhad, was executed in the central prison of the city, and the death sentence of Khairullah Nahtani, 38, from Zabol, was executed in Zahedan Central Prison.
