IRAN: 25 PRISONERS WERE EXECUTED, ACCORDING TO UNOFFICIAL SOURCES

July 3, 2013: According to reports from reliable sources in Iran, yesterday and today 25 prisoners were executed in two different prisons in Iran. 
None of the executions have been announced by official Iranian sources yet.
According to reliable sources that Iran Human Rights (IHR) has been in contact with, 21 prisoners were hanged in the Ghezel Hesar prison of Karaj yesterday morning July 2.
17 of the prisoners belonged to the Gehzelhesar prison while 4 prisoners had been transferred from other prisons to Ghezelhesar for implementation of the execution. One of the prisoners transferred from Rajai Shahr Prison was identified as "Mohsen Jahanbakhsh" born in 1977. Mr. Jahanbakhsh was sentenced to death by the judge Salavati, convicted of Moharebeh (war against God) for participation in armed robbery. His family were not informed about the execution and they were not given the opportunity of visiting him for the last time.
Identities of the other 20 prisoners are not known at the present moment but it has been reported that most of them were convicted of "Moharebeh", "corruption on earth" and drug related charges.
According to IHR’s sources in Iran four prisoners were hanged in the Rajai Shahr Prison of Karaj (west of Tehran) early this morning July 3. The prisoners were all convicted of murder and three of them are identified as "Mohammad Jafari", "Ali Yadegari" and "Karim Taraj". (Sources: Iran Human Rights, 03/07/2013)
