According to information obtained by Iran Human Rights, three men were transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for their executions on 5 June. Their identities have not been established at the time of writing.

Two of the men were sentenced to death for drug-related charges by the Revolutionary Court. The third man was sentenced to qisas (retribution-in-kind) for murder.

Their executions are due to be carried out in the coming days.

On 1 June, Iran Human Rights reported at least 307 executions in 2023.
