Hosseinali Khomr, Ataollah Barahouyi and Mehrollah Dehmardeh were sentenced to death on drug-related charges. Abdolhamid Esmailzehi was sentenced to death on charges of “moharebeh (enmity against god) through armed conflict with military forces” and Dadshah Sarani was sentenced to qisas (retribution-in-kind) for murder.
At the time of writing, none of their executions have been reported by domestic media or officials in Iran.
