Iran Human Rights (JULY 8 2017): Two prisoners were reportedly hanged at Maragheh Prison (East Azerbaijan province, northwestern Iran) on murder charges.
Close sources say the executions were carried out on the morning of Wednesday July 5. Iran Human Rights has obtained the identities of these prisoners: Hojat Imani, 34 years of age, and Jafar Seyed Rasouli, 36 years of age.
These two prisoners were reportedly among a group of four who transferred to solitary confinement on Monday July 3 in preparation for their executions. The other two prisoners, Ali Siadat and Soleiman Shahsavari, were reportedly returned to their cells after their execution sentences were postponed by the complainants in their cases.
Iranian official sources, including the Judiciary and the media, have not announced these two executions.
