Saman Heydari, a resident of Shiraz, had been sentenced to death on a charge of premeditated murder.

According to informed sources, Gholamzadeh had been detained for four years, Karegar for six years, and Heydari for six years prior to their executions. Gholamzadeh and Karegar had both been transferred from Pirbano Prison to Adelabad Prison for the implementation of their sentences. Previously, news had been published (also by HoC) of two executions carried out in Shiraz on 23 July, those of Houshang Mahmoudian and Saman Heydari. Combining the two sources, it appears that four men were hanged in Shiraz on 23 July.
