Iranian authorities have executed brothers Saeid Najafi and Hamid Najafi in Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, Alborz Province.
The two prisoners, from Kuhdasht, Lorestan Province, had been sentenced to death on charges of “enmity against God” (moharebeh) through armed robbery.
The Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) has learned that they were transferred to solitary confinement in recent days and were executed in the early hours of 25 August.
The brothers were arrested around two years ago and subsequently sentenced to death.
Another of their brothers, Younes Najafi, was killed during a clash with police forces in Shahriar, Tehran Province, in March 2024.
