According to HRANA news agency, citing the Ahvaz Human Rights Organization, two prisoners were executed this morning, Tuesday, June 17, 2022, in Sepidar Prison in Ahvaz.

The prisoners have been identified as “Majid Amori, son of Naji, 25 years old, from the city of Ramshir, and Ghadir Naseri, 23 years old, from Bandar Mahshahr.” According to the Ahvaz Human Rights Organization, Ghadir Naseri was under eighteen years old at the time of his arrest.
