On Wednesday, July 3rd, four inmates were executed in Gohardasht Prison, also in Karaj. One of the victims, 25-year old Saeed Afshar, was detained when he was merely 15 and had tolerated 10 years behind bars before being executed.

On Thursday, July 4th, four inmates in Urumieh and six others in Bam prisons were hanged (Mehr news agency, affiliated to the Ministry of Intelligence).
