Four prisoners executed in Ghezel Hesar Prison, Karaj

Hengaw – Monday, October 27, 2025

The death sentences of four prisoners, identified as Mansour Iravani, Sobhan Zamani, Reza Mahdizadeh, and Shahab (last name unknown), were carried out in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj. They had previously been sentenced to death on charges of premeditated murder in separate cases.

According to information received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, the executions were implemented at dawn on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.

Informed sources stated that Sobhan Zamani and Reza Mahdizadeh had been arrested in separate cases on charges of murder and were later sentenced to death by the Iranian judiciary.

According to the Legal Deputy of Iran’s Law Enforcement Command (FARAJA), Mansour Iravani was arrested seven years ago on charges of killing Second Lieutenant Asadollah Khazaei. Reports indicate that during a police pursuit in the Khademabad–Shahriar area, Iravani, driving a stolen vehicle, accelerated toward the officer despite a warning to stop, fatally striking him.

Meanwhile, according to Hamshahri Daily, Shahab was arrested two years ago in one of the cities of Razavi Khorasan Province for allegedly killing a friend in a case described as “honor-related,” and was subsequently sentenced to death.

Only the executions of two of the four prisoners have been reported in state-affiliated media, while the details of the other two have not yet been officially announced, particularly by outlets close to the judiciary.
