Iran Executions: Man Hanged in Ardabil

IranHR – Iran Human Rights (Aug 27, 2018): A prisoner was executed at Ardabil Central Prison on murder charges.
According to a close source, on the morning of Sunday, August 26, a prisoner was executed at Ardabil central prison. The prisoner, sentenced to death on murder charges, was identified as Shahram Mohammadi, 37.

Shahram Mohammadi had been in prison for three years and 10 months.

HRANA reported that the prisoner was transferred to the solitary confinement on Saturday.

A close source told IHR, “His family was supposed to win the consent of the plaintiffs who had promised to give their consent several times but they changed their mind. Finally, Shahram was executed at Ardabil Prison on Saturday.”

The execution of this prisoner has not been announced by the state-run media so far.

According to Iran Human Rights annual report on the death penalty, 240 of the 517 execution sentences in 2017 were implemented due to murder charges. There is a lack of a classification of murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for any kind of murder regardless of intensity and intent.
