Iran has recently carried out a series of executions that have raised concerns over the country's judicial processes. Two Iranian political prisoners, Reza Rasaei and Mojahed Kourkour, have been referred to the Islamic Revolutionary Justice Center for the execution of their death sentences, which are based on what is described as fraudulent charges and forced confessions made under duress. The judiciary's Mizan Online website reported that Iran executed five individuals convicted of multiple armed robberies and banditry, which rendered roads unsafe and spread terror. Separately, a Kurdish prisoner, Davoud Abdollahi, was executed after 14 years in prison on charges of undermining national security and spreading anti-system propaganda. Abdollahi had endured eight months of torture and was on a hunger strike before his execution. State media also reported that Iran has hanged nine convicted drug traffickers, contributing to the country maintaining one of the world's highest rates of capital punishment.
