Breathing in Confinement<\/strong> \u2013 Sunday, 25 May 2025 \u2013 This is a correction of the previous report concerning the execution of two prisoners sentenced on charges of waging war against God (moharebeh) through armed robbery in Dezful Prison.<\/p>\n

According to Breathing in Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, two prisoners named Karim Farokhvand<\/strong> and Mahmoud Ostadmamzaei<\/strong> were executed at dawn on Thursday, 1 May 2025, in Dezful Prison, having been convicted of waging war against God through armed robbery.<\/p>\n

According to information obtained from informed sources, the two Bakhtiari citizens from Dezful were arrested around six years ago, in June 2019, along with two other co-defendants, on charges of involvement in a nighttime armed robbery in which a Peugeot 405 car and two mobile phones were stolen.<\/p>\n

Karim Farokhvand, son of Ali, born in 2000, was 19 years old at the time of the incident, and Mahmoud Ostadmamzaei, son of Jom\u2019eh, born in 1995, was 24 years old at that time. Therefore, neither of them was considered a child at the time the crime was committed. At the time of execution, Farokhvand was 25 and Ostadmamzaei was 30.<\/p>\n

Despite the plaintiffs in the case declaring forgiveness, and widespread protests by Bakhtiari citizens calling for the halt of the executions, both men were ultimately hanged at dawn on Thursday, 1 May 2025, in Dezful Prison.<\/p>\n

The Dezful Prosecutor\u2019s Office has also confirmed the enforcement of these sentences.<\/p>\n
