Hengaw - Thursday, July 2, 2026

Lor prisoner Abbas Abdolmaleki, a resident of Varamin who had been sentenced to death on a charge of “premeditated murder,” was executed at Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj in early February 2026. The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights is reporting the execution for the first time nearly five months after it was carried out.

According to information received by Hengaw, the 40-year-old was executed on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at Ghezel Hesar Prison.

He had been arrested about four years earlier in connection with a case involving an alleged “mass murder” and was later sentenced to death by the Iranian Judiciary. His relatives maintain that he was innocent of the charges.

Iranian state media and the Judiciary have not announced the execution.
