Iran: Two Men Executed in Shahrekord Prison

HRANA identified the aforementioned prisoners as Saleh Dehkordi, 38, and Yarali Nouri, 40.

Saleh Dehkordi was in prison for 7 years for murdering a person and convicted to qisas (retribution in kind).

The Iranian media outlets have not published news related to the aforementioned execution so far.

According to Iran Human Rights annual report on the death penalty, 240 of the 517 execution sentences in 2017 were implemented due to murder charges. There is a lack of a classification of murder by degree in Iran which results in issuing a death sentence for any kind of murder regardless of intensity and intent.
