Abolfazl Rahmani and Mehrollah Rigi executed in Qom on July 9
According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights, two men were executed in Qom Central Prison on the morning of July 9. Their identities have been established as 38-year-old Abolfazl Rahmani and 40-year-old Mehrollah Rigi, who were sentenced to death for drug-related charges by the Revolutionary Court.
A source told Iran Human Rights: “Abolfazl Rahman was arrested for drug offences four years ago and sentenced to death. He was a crane driver prior to arrest and had a child.”
“Mehrollah Rigi was from Zahedan and had been arrested for drug offences three years ago. He was arrested with another person whose death sentence was commuted to 15 years imprisonment last year but Mehrollah was executed as the first defendant in the case,” the source added.
According to Hal Vash which first reported Mehrollah Rigi’s execution, he was a Baluch minority.
The two prisoners were transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for their executions with two others who were returned to their cells after obtaining extensions in their murder cases.
At the time of writing, their executions have not been reported by domestic media in Iran.
