Ten Political Prisoners Executed in Less Than Ten Days in Ghezel Hesar Prison; Spotlight on the Role of Allahkaram Azizi

According to the Iran Human Rights Society, ten political prisoners were executed in Ghezel Hesar Prison within a period of less than ten days. Reports indicate that these executions were carried out under the direct supervision and management of Allahkaram Azizi, raising serious concerns about systematic human‑rights violations in facilities under his authority.

Human‑rights sources have documented allegations of torture, repression, and organised corruption linked to the administration of Ghezel Hesar Prison. The rapid succession of executions has intensified scrutiny of Azizi’s role and the broader pattern of abuses reported in prisons under his management.
