The Ahwazi Human Rights Network is following with great concern and condemns in the strongest terms the heinous crime committed by the Iranian regime authorities at dawn on Friday, October 3, 2025, which was the execution of six Ahwazi political prisoners in the Al-Hawira (Sepidar) prison in the capital, Ahwaz, without notifying their families and without allowing them to meet their relatives for the last time,Without any fair or transparent trial in accordance with international standards.
What happened represents a flagrant violation of all international conventions and agreements related to the human right to life, and confirms the continuation of the Iranian oppressive approach in targeting the Ahwazi Arabs on a national and political basis, within the framework of a systematic policy aimed at breaking the will of the Ahwazi Arab people,and to silence his voice of liberation demanding his right to freedom, justice, and dignity.
According to confirmed information received by the network from reliable field sources, the martyrs who were executed are:
Ali Majdam
2. Moin Khanfari
3. Seyyed Salem Mousavi
4. Mohammad Reza Moghadam
5. Adnan Al-Boushouka (Ghabishawi)
6. Habib Dris
Prison authorities reportedly carried out the executions at dawn inside the courtyard of Sepidar Prison, amidst extreme secrecy. They prevented the bodies from being returned to their families and threatened the families with public mourning ceremonies under penalty of punishment.
Documents obtained by the network indicate that these martyrs were severely tortured at Iranian security and intelligence headquarters to extract forced "confessions" that were later used as the basis for death sentences.
They were tried before the Iranian Revolutionary Court – Ahwaz Branch, a non-independent judicial body that is completely subservient to the Revolutionary Guard and security services, rendering its rulings legally invalid according to international standards of justice.
The network affirms that all martyrs were deprived of the right to legal defense, contact with independent lawyers, and regular family visits, in clear violation of Article (10) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article (14) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
These executions constitute arbitrary political executions that amount to extrajudicial killings, as defined by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and are in complete violation of:
Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which affirms that "every human being has the inherent right to life."
• Article 7, which prohibits torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.
• The 1984 International Convention against Torture, to which Iran is a party by virtue of its moral obligation, despite its refusal to implement its provisions in practice.
This crime also falls under the category of crimes against humanity, given its systematic nature and targeting of non-Persian ethnic groups, which makes it subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court under the 1998 Rome Statute.
These executions are part of a long series of systematic political killings targeting Ahwazi Arabs. Since 2018, the network has documented more than 350 executions of Ahwazi detainees on trumped-up charges such as “separatism,” “corruption on earth,” and “belonging to groups hostile to the state.”
Human rights studies indicate that the execution rate among Ahwazis is five times higher than the Iranian national average, which confirms the racist and political nature of these sentences.
The network condemns in the strongest terms this heinous crime and emphasizes that these practices represent nothing more than a continuation of the silent genocide policy practiced by the Tehran authorities against the Ahwazi Arabs for a century.
The network declares the following:
1. It condemns and denounces the execution of the six Ahwazi martyrs, considering it a war crime and a crime against humanity
2. The Iranian authorities, with all their political, judicial, and security apparatuses, bear full responsibility for this crime.
3. The United Nations and the Human Rights Council in Geneva are calling for an urgent and independent investigation into these executions and the dispatch of a fact-finding mission to occupied Ahwaz.
4. Calls on the international community to pressure the Iranian regime to halt all executions of political prisoners and detainees.
5. International and Arab human rights organizations, most notably Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, are calling for urgent action to address the Ahwazi executions.
6. The League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation urge the inclusion of the issue of the Ahwazi Arab people on their human rights and humanitarian agenda.
7. The network affirms that the blood of the martyrs will not be in vain, and that it will serve as a catalyst for strengthening human rights and media documentation and for sustained international pressure.

The Ahwazi Human Rights Network urgently appeals to all people of conscience, humanitarian organizations, and free media professionals not to remain silent in the face of these ongoing crimes against a people being killed simply because they are Arabs demanding their right to existence and freedom.
We call on you to raise your voice, document the truth, and hold the killers accountable before international justice, because silence means complicity, and remaining silent about injustice is a crime no less than committing it.
This horrific crime will not deter the Ahwazis from continuing their struggle for freedom. Rather, it will only strengthen their resolve to expose the ugly face of the Iranian regime to the world.
The Ahwazi Human Rights Network affirms that it will continue its work to document violations and submit complete legal files to the relevant international bodies.

Glory and immortality to the martyrs, and freedom is inevitable.
