Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO)- Khosro Mohammadi was secretly executed for drug-related charges in Zahedan Central Prison.
According to Hal Vash, a man was executed in Zahedan Central Prison on February 28. His identity has been reported as Khosro Mohammadi from Shiraz. He was sentenced to death for drug-related charges by the Revolutionary Court.
Khosrwo had been behind bars for over four years. His execution was carried out without her family or lawyer being notified.
At the time of writing, his execution has not been reported by domestic media or officials in Iran.
On January 27, Iran Human Rights warned of the high number of drug executions currently being carried out in Iran. Of the 66 executions carried out in January, at least 43 (65%) people were executed for drug-related charges, none of which were officially announced.
Drug executions dramatically dropped between 2018-2020 following the Amendment to the Anti-Drug Laws in 2017. However, this reversed in practice in 2021 when numbers increased by five-fold and have continued to rise throughout 2022 and 2023.
