The two men were reportedly convicted, together with eight others including Abdulreza Sanawati Zergani, Abdul Husain Haribi, Husain Maramazi and Husain Asakreh, of being mohareb (at enmity with God) on account of their alleged involvement in bomb attacks in 2005 in Ahvaz city, Khuzestan province. Early reports stated that Abdulreza Sanawati Zergani had also been executed: however, further reports suggest that his execution was postponed and that teacher Risan Sawari was executed instead.
