Hengaw – Friday, June 5, 2026

Iranian authorities have executed a prisoner identified as Saber Akrami in Gorgan Central Prison. He had previously been sentenced to death on a conviction of premeditated murder.

According to information obtained by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, the execution was carried out at dawn on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. Akrami, 54, was the father of four children.

Sources told Hengaw that Akrami owned a local grocery store in Gorgan. Approximately three years ago, he was arrested in connection with the killing of a man in what sources described as a case linked to so-called “honor-related” motives. He was subsequently convicted and sentenced to death by the Iranian judiciary.

Iranian state media and judiciary-affiliated outlets have not announced or reported the execution of Saber Akrami.
