Mojtaba Khosravi and Meisam Abdi Hanged for Drug Offences in Isfahan

According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights, two men were hanged in Isfahan (Dastgerd) Central Prison on 27 May 2026. Their identities have been established as 42-year-old Mojtaba Khosravi and 38-year-old Meisam Abdi, two Torbat Heidarieh natives.

They were arrested in a joint case 21 months ago and sentenced to death on drug-related charges by the Revolutionary Court.

An informed source told IHRNGO: “Mojtaba and Meisam were arrested for carrying 27 kilograms of shisheh(methamphetamines) and heroin. Mojtaba had one child. They were transferred to the gallows from Ward 4 of the prison.”

At the time of writing, their executions have not been reported by domestic media or officials in Iran.

Drug-related executions have continuously risen every year since 2021. According to IHRNGO’s 2025 Annual Report on the Death Penalty, at least 795 people were executed for drug-related charges, of which only 0.18% were announced by official sources. 13% of all drug-related executions in 2025 were Baluch minorities while they represent 2-6% of Iran’s population.
