Ayoub Mohebi executed in Qezel Hesar Prison

Hengaw – Friday, July 24, 2026

Iranian authorities executed Ayoub Mohebi, a 40-year-old Kurdish prisoner from Nurabad (Delfan), at Qezel Hesar Prison in Karaj. He had previously been sentenced to death on a charge of "premeditated murder."

According to information received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, the execution was carried out in the early hours of Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at Qezel Hesar Prison.

Informed sources said Mohebi had been arrested four years earlier in connection with an unintentional killing during a street altercation. He was accused of causing the death without prior intent, but the judiciary ultimately sentenced him to death after the victim’s family declined to grant clemency.

Iranian state media and outlets affiliated with the judiciary had not reported the execution.
