Mohammad Amiri Executed in Khorramabad; Number of Executions in Khorramabad Rises to Three

According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO), the death sentence of Mohammad Amiri-Bahravand, a 32-year-old man, was carried out at Khorramabad Central Prison on Thursday, January 16. He had been sentenced to qisas for "premeditated murder."

A knowledgeable source told Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO), “Mohammad Amiri-Bahravand was from Lorestan and had been arrested four years ago on charges of murdering a relative. He was sentenced to qisas.”

With the execution of Mohammad Amiri-Bahravand, the total number of executions on Thursday at Khorramabad Central Prison has risen to three.

The execution of this prisoner has not been announced by Iranian domestic media or official sources at the time of writing this report.

The lack of classification for murder charges in Iran means that all murder cases, regardless of circumstances, severity, or motive, can result in a death sentence.
