Overview

  • Iran’s judiciary said six men convicted of carrying out armed attacks and bombings in Khuzestan were hanged after being labeled separatist terrorists with support from Israel.
  • State media alleged the group killed police and Basij personnel and carried out bombings around Khorramshahr, including an attack on a gas station.
  • Authorities also reported the separate execution of Kurdish fighter Saman Mohammadi for Moharebeh in a case tied to a 2009 killing in Sanandaj.
  • The Hengaw rights group identified the six as Arab political prisoners detained during 2019 protests and accused authorities of torture and extracting televised confessions, with alleged links to ASMLA.
  • Human rights organizations and UN experts cite an accelerated pace of executions in 2025, reporting more than 1,000 so far, following earlier high-profile cases such as the execution of alleged Mossad agent Bahman Choobiasl.
