IRAN - Mahmoud Rahmani executed in Iranshahr on April 29

(April 29, 2023) - Mahmoud Rahmani executed in Iranshahr on April 29
Rahmani, a Baluch man, (pictured) was arrested around 12 years ago for murder.
Ethnic minorities, the Baluch in particular, are grossly overrepresented in execution numbers in Iran. In 2022, at least 174 Baluch minorities including 3 women, were executed in 22 prisons across Iran, making up 30% of overall executions. This is while they represent just 2-6% of Iran’s population.
Baluch minorities also represented almost half of drug-related executions in 2022. 47.3% of the 256 people executed for drug-related charges were Baluch.
