IRAN - Rasht Central Prison

11 June 2022 :

Ebrahim Karimi executed in Rasht on June 2. The news was reported by IHR on June 9.
According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights, a man was executed in Rasht Central Prison on 2 June. His identity has been established as Ebrahim Karimi, sentenced for the murder of his son-in-law with his daughter, Maryam Karimi. Sources previously told IHR: “This father and daughter don’t have anyone, they had killed her husband who was abusive, physically violent and wouldn’t consent to a divorce. The father who had no other way of saving his daughter, helped her in killing him.” Maryam’s daughter was six years old at the time and was raised by her paternal grandparents, who for 13 years told the child that both her parents were dead. A few weeks prior to Maryam and Ebrahim’s scheduled executions, the grandparents told Maryam’s daughter what happened to prepare her psychologically. The father and daughter were transferred for execution after saying goodbye to each other in February 2021 but their execution was delayed by judicial officials and they were returned to their cells. In the early hours of 13 March 2021, Maryam was hanged in Rasht Central Prison. Her daughter personally carried out her execution. Ebrahim was spared execution for unknown reasons but was brought in to see his daughter’s lifeless body hanging on the noose. Over 14 months later, he has also now been executed. At the time of writing, the execution is not been reported by domestic media in Iran.
