🔴 The Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation has documented at least 886 executions in Iran since the beginning of 2026, with 56 of those occurring in July alone.

🔸 Ghezal Hesar Prison has one of the highest rates of execution in the country. A significant portion of the executions carried out in Iran is related to drug-related offenses; according to data collected by the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation, nearly 45% (2,946 cases) of all recorded executions in the 10-year period from 2016 to 2025 were related to drugs.

🔸 Since July 13, following the transfer of six death row inmates in drug-related cases to solitary confinement in Ghezal Hesar Prison, a group of prisoners in Unit 2 of this prison has gone on hunger strike, with some even sewing their lips shut.

🔸 More than two weeks into this strike, officials have not only failed to respond to the strikers' demands but have also taken actions such as transferring prisoners and imposing stricter restrictions to prevent messages and videos from being sent out of the prison, attempting to silence their voices.
