HRANA published “Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat Executed on Alleged Espionage Charges” on 2026-08-03. Hengaw Organization for Human Rights separately published a report about the same named event under the headline “Hengaw releases new details on the executions of Kurdish student Omid Behzad and Turkish man Pouria Safvat at Urmia Central Prison.”
The reports concern an execution carried out by the Iranian state. Any criminal or security allegations attributed to officials remain allegations unless independently proven through a fair and transparent process.
HumanInChain is adding this item to its historical 2026 chronology using the original report date. It is an attributed monitoring entry, not a claim of direct eyewitness verification. Source links remain visible so readers can inspect the underlying reporting and request corrections.
