September 22, 2026 - IRAN. Abdoljalil Bazrkaran executed in Ahvaz on September 22

Abdoljalil Bazrkaran, a 46-year-old Arab man from Ahvaz was executed in Ahvaz on September 22 

He was arrested six years ago for murder.

A source told IHR: “Abdoljalil was from the Seyadat tribe and had a shop in the Hasirabad district of Ahvaz. On the day of the incident, four men waited for him for nearly an hour before he arrived. Once he entered the shop, they attacked him and a struggle broke out. One of the assailants was wielding a knife, and during the scuffle, Abdoljalil fell on top of the attacker, causing the man's own knife to pierce his chest. Abdoljalil killed no one, as the assailant died from his own weapon, yet the court rejected his self-defence arguments and sentenced him to qisas.”

At the time of writing, the execution has not been reported by domestic media in Iran.
