HRANA News Agency – At least 3 prisoners out of 10 who had been transferred to solitary confinements in Rajai Shahr prison in Karaj were hanged in this prison.

According to the report of the Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), the death sentences of at least 3 prisoners who had been transferred to solitary confinements in Rajai Shahr prison in Karaj were executed.

The identities of the three executed prisoners are:

1- Mohsen Khan Mohammadi / accused of murder

2- Mehdi with unknown surname/ accused of murder

3- An Afghanistan citizen / accused of murder

Meanwhile, three prisoners were able to be saved from the noose, with the consent of the next of kin. Another prisoner with the deadline for preparation of the amount of blood money, was also returned to his ward.

The fate of three other prisoners is not known yet, therefore an increase in the number of executions is more likely.

These prisoners, who had been transferred to solitary confinement for execution, had their last visit on July 18.

A family member of “Mohsen Khan Mohammadi” one of those executed who had been charged with murder told HRANA’s reporter: “Mohsen was born in 1987. He happened along with his brother to have a street fight for a car parking place with the victim and everything happened so fast that the victim’s family did not even know who had the knife in his hand.”

He mentioned regarding the process and sentencing that: “Finally, after being questioned and administrative procedures, the verdict of Tehran Penal Court, Branch 113, presided by Judge Asghar Zadeh, was issued to be the death sentence for Mohsen as the prime suspect, on May 25, 2014. His sentence was executed due to the victim’s family’s dissatisfaction.”
