Hassan Ali Yousefi, Majid Jamshidi, Sohrab Ahmadipour, Abdolbari Pakouhi, Farzad Nowruzi, and Rastgouyi Kondelaj
At dawn on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, the death sentences of at least six prisoners were carried out in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj.
According to reports, Yousefi, Jamshidi, Ahmadipour, and Pakouhi were arrested on drug-related charges. Farzad Nowruzi received a death sentence for murder. Rastgouyi Kondelaj, the sixth prisoner executed, was sentenced to death for “spreading corruption on Earth.”
The Judiciary’s media center provided details on Kondelaj’s case, which began in late 2018. He used a motorcycle and concealed his face to approach women and girls from behind, attacking them with an awl—a sharp iron tool with a wooden handle typically used in leatherworking—before fleeing. These assaults injured 59 women and girls in Tehran.
Following his arrest, Kondelaj was charged with “spreading corruption on Earth by instilling fear among women and injuring them.” He was sentenced to execution and ordered to pay compensation to the victims.
As of this report, no official statements have been issued by the Judiciary’s media center, prison officials, or other authorities regarding the executions of the other five prisoners.
