Breathing in Confinement – The execution of at least one prisoner who had previously been arrested on charges of “murder” and sentenced to death was carried out at Qezel Hesar Prison.
According to Breathing in Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners’ Rights League in Iran, in the early hours of Wednesday, 24 December 2025, a prisoner was hanged at Qezel Hesar Prison. The identity of the prisoner has been confirmed by Breathing in Confinement as Ebrahim Alizadeh.
Ebrahim Alizadeh, 23 years old and a resident of Qarchak, had previously been arrested on charges of “murder” and sentenced to death. His sentence was carried out at dawn on Wednesday, 24 December 2025, at Qezel Hesar Prison.
Breathing in Confinement had earlier reported, on 21 December, that two prisoners had been transferred to solitary confinement at Qezel Hesar Prison. The other prisoner—who had also been sentenced to death on charges of murdering his spouse—was able to obtain the consent of the victim’s family (forgiveness by the next of kin), thereby avoiding execution.
