Background

Mohammad Abbasi was executed at an unspecified Iranian prison on 13 May 2026, documented by human rights monitor Hengaw as a separate case from the coordinated five-prison cluster carried out the same day. His execution brought the total documented by Hengaw on 13 May to at least seven individuals across the wartime period.

Public information on Abbasi is extremely limited. Hengaw's documentation does not include charges, the prison location, or biographical details. The withholding of this information is consistent with the wartime pattern of undisclosed executions in Iran, where charges and identities are routinely suppressed to prevent family notification or international scrutiny.

Abbasi's case sits within a documented acceleration of executions in Iran during the 2026 conflict, a pattern Hengaw has tracked systematically. Without official confirmation or charge disclosure, the circumstances of his death remain opaque.
