According to a report published by Tavaana, Alireza Khani Shekarab, a prisoner sentenced to death on espionage charges, was transferred on Saturday, May 16, from Evin Prison to Ghezel Hesar Prison.

At the time of writing, no detailed information has been released regarding the legal proceedings in his case, including the date of his arrest, the court branch that handled the case, or the circumstances surrounding the issuance of his death sentence.

In recent months, following the January protests and the military conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, multiple reports have emerged of executions being carried out at Ghezel Hesar Prison, which has become one of the main sites for executions in Iran. In this context, the transfer of Alireza Khani Shekarab to the prison has intensified concerns over the possible imminent implementation of his death sentence.

Human rights activists have repeatedly raised concerns over the issuance and implementation of death sentences in security-related cases, particularly those involving charges such as espionage.
