Balochistan Human Rights Group reported that on the morning of Monday July 31th 2023 officials at Zahedan Central Prison carried out the execution of at least four Baloch prisoners who were imprisoned on drug-related charges.
The identities of these Baluchi citizens are as follows:

According to the report, Saeed and Ali, who were paternal cousins, were arrested together in a joint case in 2021 in Zahedan and were sentenced to death by the revolutionary court of that city.
These two prisoners were transferred from Zahedan Prison to Zahedan Central Prison about a month ago, and they were executed without informing their families or allowing them a final visit.
