May 31, 2026 - IRAN. 10 people executed in Shiraz on May 31

According to information received by Hengaw, ten executions were carried out in the early hours of May 31, 2026, at Shiraz Central Prison (Adelabad Prison).

Hengaw has identified eight of those executed as Saeid Dehqanizadeh, Barzou Mousazadeh, Abbas Bayat, Ali Akbar Sarabi Moqadam, Salar Sheikhi, Mohammad Osman Danebarchin, Qader Khodamoradi, and Mohammad Sediq Balouchi. The identities of two other executed prisoners, both Afghan nationals, have not yet been confirmed and remain under investigation.

Among those executed were Saeid Dehqanizadeh, 32, and Abbas Bayat, 30, both from Shiraz; Barzou Mousazadeh, a 30-year-old Kurd from Kermanshah (Kermashan) who had been working as a laborer in Shiraz; and Ali Akbar Sarabi Moqadam, a resident of Kazerun. All four had been sentenced to death on charges of murder.
Dehqanizadeh and Sarabi Moqadam were arrested four years earlier, while Bayat and Mousazadeh had been arrested three years before their executions.

Authorities also executed three Baloch prisoners: Mohammad Osman Danebarchin, a 35-year-old father of three from Iranshahr; Qader Khodamoradi, 43, a father of four; and Mohammad Sediq Balouchi, 55, a father of six from Zahedan. All three had been sentenced to death on charges related to drug offenses.
Danebarchin and Khodamoradi were arrested approximately four years ago, while Balouchi had spent nine years on death row before his execution.

Also among those executed was Salar Sheikhi, a 29-year-old Turk from Jolfa. He had been arrested two years earlier on a charge of rape.

Other sources (and HoC) had already reported 2 of the executions: those of Mohammad Osman Danebarchin and Mohammad Sediq Balouchi.

Iranian state media had not reported the executions.
