Rajai Shahr Prison

30 October 2020 :

Iranian media have reported the execution of a prisoner sentenced to qisas (retribution-in-kind) for murder in Rajai Shahr Prison, without providing the exact date and identity of the prisoner. According to semi-official news website Javan Online, a prisoner sentenced to qisas for murder was executed in recent days. The report only identifies the executed prisoner as 19-year-old Peyman, but does not specify the date of the execution. According to the report, in 2018, he had killed a man during an alcohol fuelled fight in a park near Kan, in Tehran. Informed sources have told IHR that Peyman may have been taken to the gallows from the juvenile ward. It should be noted that on Tuesday, October 13, four male prisoners were executed at Rajai Shahr Prison, of which one was not identified. The details of Peyman’s case do not match those of the prisoners executed on October 13,
