Central Prison of Shiraz, Execution of a Woman

Central Prison of Shiraz, Execution of a Woman: A Case of Coerced Marriage

July 21, 2024
in Women's News
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On the morning of Saturday, July 20, 2024, the death sentences for three men and one woman were carried out at the Central Prison of Shiraz, also known as Adelabad.

The woman who was executed alongside the three male prisoners was named Mahmoudinia (first name unknown). She had been sentenced to death for “premeditated murder.”

Ms. Mahmoudinia was arrested and sentenced to death for killing her fiancé. She was unwilling to marry him and had been forced into the marriage by her family.

The lack of classification for premeditated murder in Iran means that any type of murder, regardless of its severity or motive, can lead to a death sentence.

According to the information compiled by the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, with the execution of Ms. Mahmoudinia in the Central Prison of Shiraz, the number of women executed in Iran since 2007, has reached 240. Eleven women have been executed since January 2024.

Record holder of executions of women

The Iranian regime is the world’s top record holder of executions of women.

No government in the world has executed so many women. The list does not account for the tens of thousands of women executed in Iran on political grounds.

The NCRI Women’s Committee previously mentioned that many of the women executed by the mullahs’ regime are themselves victims of domestic violence against women and have acted in self-defense.

An average of 15 women were executed every year under the former government in Iran.

However, 26 women were executed under Raisi government in 2023, which is 11 more than the previous average.

The NCRI Women’s Committee calls on the United Nations, the European Union, and other relevant international organizations to take urgent action to save the lives of those on death row and stop the use of death penalty in Iran.
