Throughout this period, 174 political, ideological, and "security" prisoners have been executed;
•66 political prisoners; 28 Kurdish political prisoners, 32 other political prisoners, and 6 political prisoners accused of spying
•40 Kurdish ideological prisoners
•68 prisoners accused of "security" who were mostly ideological; 22 people accused of "attacking the military parade in Ahvaz", 19 people accused of "membership in Jaish al-Adl", 15 people accused of "bombing in Chabahar on Ashura Day 97" (Baloch), 8 people accused of "membership in ISIS and attack on the parliament building" (Kurd), 4 people accused of "bombing in Ahvaz")
Regarding the last item mentioned, Kurdpa has categorized political, ideological, and "security" prisoners only for transparency, to provide it transparently to the readers. Kurdpa does not have full access to the field of activity of individuals, especially to other ethnic groups. Kurdpa's main effort has been to mention the accusation made by the Islamic Republic in this classification.
