Ali Mirzaei and Aziz Roshanayi executed in separate cases

Hengaw – Wednesday, September 2, 2026

Iranian authorities executed Ali Mirzaei and Aziz Roshanayi, who had been sentenced to death in separate murder cases, at Babol Central Prison and Shiraz Central Prison (Adelabad Prison), respectively.

According to information received by Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Mirzaei, a singer from Babol, was executed at dawn on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at Babol Central Prison in Mazandaran Province.

Informed sources said Mirzaei had been arrested over an unintentional killing during an altercation at a café and sentenced to death. Three months ago, he was transferred to solitary confinement for execution but received a three-month reprieve. His execution was ultimately carried out after he failed to secure the consent of the victim’s family.

Meanwhile, Roshanayi, who had been arrested and sentenced to death on a charge of “premeditated murder,” was executed at Shiraz Central Prison (Adelabad Prison).

Neither execution has been announced by Iranian state media or judiciary-affiliated outlets.
