On January 30th, Iran executed two men, Mehrdad Karimpour and Farid Mohammadi, after finding them guilty of charges related to homosexuality. The two were charged with "sodomy by force," a term used by the Islamic Republic of Iran to describe homosexual rape. Some argue that the two were wrongfully convicted. In July 2021, two other men were executed for homosexuality-related charges, who were also imprisoned in Maragheh prison. According to the Human Rights Activist News Agency, Iran has executed at least 12 prisoners on alleged "rape” charges in 2020. At least 16 prisoners were executed for similar charges in 2019 and 23 in 2018. Under Iran's harsh laws, crimes such as sodomy, rape, adultery, armed robbery, and murder are punishable with the death penalty. Javaid Rehman, the U.N.'s independent investigator on human rights in Iran, reported in October 2021 that Iran has been implementing "at an alarming rate."
