Iran Human Rights has reported that Torat Mohammadi, a 42-year-old Afghan citizen who had been sentenced to death on charges of “espionage,” was executed at Karaj Central Prison.
According to the report, Mohammadi’s execution was carried out early Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
Hengaw has also reported that Mohammadi was from Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province, and was the father of four children. Before his arrest, he had been living with his family in the city of Qom.
According to informed sources, Mohammadi had worked at an institution affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps before his arrest. He was arrested about two years ago and spent nearly seven months being interrogated at an IRGC intelligence detention facility.
According to reports, Mohammadi was transferred to Karaj Central Prison six days before his execution. His execution was carried out without prior notification to his family or lawyer, and he was not given the opportunity to have a final meeting with his wife and children.
Iran Human Rights said it remains unclear which country or organization Mohammadi was accused of spying for. It also said that, at the time of publication, Iranian judicial authorities and official media had not reported his execution, while details of his case and trial had not been publicly disclosed.
According to figures from Iran Human Rights, Torat Mohammadi is the 16th person executed in Iran in 2026 on charges related to espionage.
