In a somber turn of events, four prisoners were executed on December 30 at Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan, Iran. The individuals, identified as Ahmad Barahooie (Brahui) Chenal, Kourosh Narooie, Ayat Pourmansouri from Dezful, and Babak Shoghi, who was 35 years old, faced charges related to drug offenses.
The news was reported by the Iran Human Rights Organization and Haal Vsh, though prison authorities or other official institutions have yet to confirm the executions publicly.
These cases highlight the ongoing use of capital punishment for drug-related crimes in Iran, sparking ongoing discussions about the justice system and human rights. The lack of official acknowledgment further raises questions about transparency in such cases.
The story has drawn attention to the lives lost and the need for conversations about how justice is served in these situations.
