June 21, 2026: June 21, 2026 - IRAN. Hossein Yousefzahi executed in Zabol on June 21
According to information received by Hengaw, on June 21, 2026, Hossein Yousefzahi, a Baloch man from the village of Tabasin-e Olya in Nahbandan County, was executed in Zabol Prison after spending 28 years behind bars, despite having been sentenced to life imprisonment rather than death.
Yousefzahi was arrested in 1998 and sentenced to life imprisonment. He later spent part of his sentence on furlough and under an open-prison arrangement. Around five years ago, following the opening of a new case involving the discovery of 50 grams of narcotics, he was again sentenced to life imprisonment.
The execution has not been announced by state media.
