The Hengaw Human Rights Organisation reported on Monday that the Islamic Republic of Iran has executed eight prisoners, including two Afghan nationals and one Baloch prisoner, in Yazd and Shiraz Central Prisons.

Details about the identities of the Afghan prisoners who were executed have not yet been released.

According to the organisation, five prisoners, including the two Afghans, were executed in Yazd Central Prison on Monday morning.

Hengaw identified two of the executed individuals as 23-year-old Abdolrauf Shahbakhsh and 34-year-old Abdolrahman Damani, both from Zahedan. The identities of the Afghan prisoners are still under investigation.

The organisation reported that one of the Afghan prisoners was executed on charges of "premeditated murder”.

In a separate statement, Hengaw reported that three individuals were executed in Shiraz Central Prison on Saturday. These executions were carried out for drug-related offences and murder.

Information regarding the trial and prison conditions of those executed remains scarce, and it is unclear whether they had access to due process and legal representation.
A recent report by Iran Human Rights revealed

that at least 300 people, including 20 Afghan nationals, have been executed in Iran's prisons during the first seven months of this year.
