Hengaw – Sunday, August 2, 2026

Iranian authorities secretly executed two prisoners, Farzad Feyzi and Hassan Mousavi, who had been sentenced to death in separate drug-related cases, at Shiraz Central Prison, also known as Adelabad Prison.

According to information obtained by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, the executions were carried out at dawn on Aug. 1, 2026. Farzad Feyzi, a 40-year-old Mazani man from Babol, and Hassan Mousavi, a 30-year-old Turk from Jolfa, were executed without prior notice to their families and were denied a final visit before their deaths.

Feyzi had been arrested two years ago and Mousavi three years ago on drug-related charges. Both were subsequently sentenced to death by the Iranian judiciary.

Iranian state media and judicial authorities have not publicly announced the secret executions.
