October 23, 2024 - IRAN. 4 men executed in Karaj (Central) on October 23
Not identified
At dawn on Wednesday October 23, 2024, four prisoners were executed in Karaj Central Prison after being convicted of “the large-scale production and distribution of toxic alcoholic beverages” and charged with “corruption on earth.” The judiciary’s news agency, Mizan, reported the execution but did not disclose the identities of the prisoners.
The executions were tied to a case from June 16, 2023, involving the widespread distribution of toxic alcoholic beverages in Karaj. The four prisoners had previously been sentenced to death for “corruption on earth through crimes against the physical integrity of individuals.” Their original death sentences were overturned by the Supreme Court in late June 2024, but after further review, they were again sentenced to death by Branch 2 of the Karaj Revolutionary Court.
The judiciary’s spokesperson had earlier claimed that the actions of these individuals resulted in the deaths of 17 people and caused blindness in 191 others.
In addition to the four executions, seven other defendants in this case were sentenced to prison terms.
