Hengaw Organisation for Human Right - 26 Feb 2024
<<Hengaw's statistical report on the state of Iran's prisons in 2023 reveals the
deaths of 11 prisoners under torture
According to the data compiled by the Statistics and Documents Center of the
Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, a total of 32 prisoners died in the
prisons and detention centers of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2023.
Additionally, two prisoners passed away shortly after their release, while one
accused individual was killed by direct fire from the forces of the intelligence
department while attempting to escape. Among the deceased, nine were political
prisoners, and shockingly, at least 11 prisoners lost their lives under torture.
Notably, 60% of the victims were Kurdish prisoners.
The report comprises 10 distinct sections, each offering detailed insights into
various aspects of the situation:
Each section is accompanied by diagrams and further information, providing a
comprehensive overview of the findings.
Introduction:
Security detention centers operated by the Revolutionary Guards and the
Intelligence Directorate across Iran, along with numerous public prisons, remain
unchecked by international human rights organizations, lacking judicial
oversight. These facilities, particularly those in Kurdistan cities, witness
severe physical and psychological torture inflicted upon political detainees by
security agents. Compounding this issue, the absence of judicial control extends
to Iran's central and public prisons, where the presence of drug-trafficking
networks facilitates the entry of various weapons. Under the supervision and
financial backing of prison officials, these weapons often lead to lethal
altercations among inmates. Furthermore, documented evidence reveals instances
where security institutions coerce prisoners with common charges to intimidate
others, particularly political detainees, in prisons lacking segregation based
on charges.
Abstract of the 2023 Statistical Report:
As per the data compiled by the Statistics and Documents Center of the Hengaw
Organization for Human Rights, the year 2023 witnessed the loss of at least 32
lives within the prisons and detention facilities of the Islamic Republic of
Iran. Among these, two political detainees met suspicious deaths shortly after
their release, while one individual was fatally shot by intelligence forces
while attempting to flee. Of the 35 recorded deaths, a significant majority-21
individuals-were Kurdish prisoners. Alarmingly, 11 of these fatalities resulted
from torture, while nine were attributed to delayed medical attention and
inadequate healthcare provision. Urmia province accounted for the highest number
of prisoner deaths, with 11 reported cases. Furthermore, 23 of the total
fatalities occurred in various central and public penitentiaries across
different cities, while three individuals perished under torture within the
detention centers of the Intelligence and Information Department of the IRGC.
Notably, the year 2023 saw the deaths of 11 inmates with drug-related charges
and nine political prisoners across Iran's prison facilities.
Separation of Prisoner Deaths in Iranian Prisons:
According to this report, the majority of prisoner deaths occurred due to the
torture inflicted by security institutions, accounting for 11 cases.
Additionally, nine prisoners succumbed to their demise due to inadequate medical
attention and delays in transfer to medical facilities, while three prisoners
passed away under suspicious circumstances, suspected of poisoning.
Death under torture: 11 cases, constituting 31.5% of all cases
Lack of medical attention: 9 cases, representing 26% of all cases
Conflict with other prisoners: 4 cases, comprising 11.5% of all cases
Suspicious death: 3 cases, amounting to 8.5% of all cases
Poisoning: 3 cases, making up 8.5% of all cases.
Suicide: 3 cases, accounting for 8% of all cases.
Shots fired during detention: 1 case, equivalent to 3% of all cases.
Heart attack prior to execution of the death sentence: 1 case, also accounting
for 3% of all cases
Separation of Deceased Prisoners According to Charges:
The majority of prisoners who died in prisons in 2023 were those accused of
drug-related crimes, totaling 11 cases. Following this, nine cases involved
political prisoners, and an additional nine prisoners were charged with common
crimes. Two cases pertained to financial crimes, one to intentional homicide,
and three to murder charges.
Political activity: 9 cases
Drug-related crimes: 11 cases
Common crimes: 9 cases
Financial crimes: 2 cases
Intentional murder: 1 case
Unknown: 3 cases
A Summary of Identity Information for 9 Political Prisoners Who Died in 2023:
According to the report, nine of the 35 prisoners who died in the past year were
political prisoners, accounting for 26% of all cases. Among them, five were
Kurdish political prisoners, two of whom died suspiciously shortly after
completing their sentences. Additionally, two Baloch political prisoners, one
Lur Bakhtiari political prisoner, and one Gilak political prisoner also lost
their lives.

Gachsaran. He was detained during the Women, Life, Freedom movement.
2. Ebrahim Rigi, a 24-year-old Baloch doctor from Zahedan, died under torture on

injured in the head and in a coma due to torture in the intelligence detention
center in Zabul.
Separation of Deceased Prisoners According to Province in 2023:
Based on statistics from Hengaw, the highest number of prisoner deaths in 2023
occurred in the prisons and detention centers of West Azarbaijan province (Urmia),
totaling 11 cases. Four cases were recorded in the prisons of Kurdistan and
Sistan and Baluchistan provinces, while three cases each were reported in
Kermanshah and Tehran provinces.
• Urmia Province (West Azarbaijan): 11 cases
• Kurdistan Province (Sanandaj): 4 cases
• Sistan and Baluchistan Province: 4 cases
• Kermanshah Province: 3 cases
• Tehran Province: 3 cases

• East Azerbaijan Province: 1 case
• Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province: 1 case
Disposition of Deceased Prisoners According to Correctional Facility and

sentences in public prisons, comprising 23 cases. Additionally, three deaths
occurred in the Intelligence Department’s detention center and the IRGC

• Detention Center of the Intelligence Department: 3 cases
• Police detention center: 2 cases
• Suspicious death after release: 2 cases

Separation of Deceased Prisoners According to Nationality:
According to Hengaw’s statistics, 21 cases, equivalent to 60% of the prisoners
who died in Iranian prisons last year, were Kurdish prisoners. This figure
starkly illustrates the heightened use of violence by security institutions in
Kurdistan to suppress prisoners.
Additionally, last year saw the deaths of at least 7 Baloch prisoners,
comprising 20% of all cases, in Iranian prisons and detention centers.
Furthermore, a prisoner with dual citizenship (Iranian-American) also died in
Tehran.
• Kurdish prisoners: 21 cases
• Baloch prisoners: 7 cases
• Gilak prisoners: 2 cases
• Lur and Bakhtiari prisoners: 2 cases
• Turkish prisoners: 1 case
• Dual-nationality prisoners: 1 case
• Fars prisoners: 1 case
The Death of 21 Kurdish Prisoners in 2023:
Out of the total number of prisoners who died across Iran, 21 were Kurdish
prisoners, representing 60% of the total, with 8 of them being killed under
torture, accounting for 73% of all prisoners who died under such circumstances
in Iran last year. According to the report, 8 Kurdish prisoners died under
torture, 5 due to a lack of medical care, and 4 in clashes with other prisoners.
Additionally, the deaths of three prisoners were suspicious, and one prisoner
committed suicide.
At least five Kurdish prisoners lost their lives while detained on charges of
political activity. Eight individuals faced accusations related to drug-related
crimes, while five were accused of ordinary crimes. Additionally, two
individuals faced charges of financial crimes, while one individual’s charge
remains unknown. According to Hengaw statistics, the majority of Kurdish
prisoners who died were from Urmia province (West Azarbaijan), accounting for 12
cases. Four cases each were recorded in Kurdistan province (Sanandaj) and
Kermanshah (Kermashan), while Lorestan province recorded one death of a Kurdish
prisoner.
Conclusion:
Extrajudicial killings, occurring without valid legal process and the
opportunity for the accused to defend themselves, constitute egregious
violations of human rights and fundamental principles of justice. Often carried
out under conditions of repression, fear, and lawlessness, such actions are
deemed crimes against humanity. Reports like those compiled by the Hengaw
Organization for Human Rights shed light on the severity of rights violations in
Iran. The deaths of prisoners under torture or at the hands of security forces,
absent legal due process, exemplify extrajudicial killings. These cases,
especially when impacting national, religious, and ethnic minorities, underscore
the urgent need for international attention and action. Standing against such
crimes and establishing mechanisms to pursue justice and support victims and
their families are integral to the global struggle for human rights. The report
by Hengaw starkly demonstrates not only the widespread human rights violations
in Iran but also clear instances of crimes against humanity, as defined in the
Statute of the International Criminal Court, particularly in the case of
extrajudicial executions. These actions, conducted without fair trials and under
conditions of torture, flagrantly violate international human rights standards
and basic principles of justice. The findings of this report necessitate not
only the attention of the international community to pressure for an end to
these violations but also underscore the imperative for decisive action by
international courts to investigate and prosecute those accountable for these
crimes.>>
