Separately, on Tuesday the mullahs' regime hanged four prisoners in Orumieh (Urmia) Prison.
They were identified as Alireza Sarebani, Ahmad Nami, Manouchehr Razani and Abdolhamid Moradi. They were accused of drugs-related charges.
The hangings bring to at least 32 the number of people executed in Iran since the start of last week, while European officials have been paying visits to Tehran. Three of those executed were women.
According to reports from inside Iran, the mullahs' regime on Thursday hanged five men and two women in a prison in Birjand, north-east Iran.
Iran's fundamentalist regime on Saturday hanged three prisoners in a jail in Rasht, northern Iran, as the European Union's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini was in Tehran to build greater trade ties between the EU and the regime.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) said in a statement on Wednesday that the increasing trend of executions “aimed at intensifying the climate of terror to rein in expanding protests by various strata of the society, especially at a time of visits by high-ranking European officials, demonstrates that the claim of moderation is nothing but an illusion for this medieval regime.”

Ms. Mogherini, the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, was in Tehran on Saturday along with seven EU commissioners for discussions with the regime’s officials on trade and other areas of cooperation.
Her trip was strongly criticized by Mohammad Mohaddessin, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the NCRI who said: “This trip which takes place in the midst of mass executions, brutal human rights violations and the regime's unbridled warmongering in the region tramples on the values upon which the EU has been founded and which Ms. Mogherini should be defending and propagating.”
Amnesty International in its April 6 annual Death Penalty report covering the 2015 period wrote: "Iran put at least 977 people to death in 2015, compared to at least 743 the year before."
"Iran alone accounted for 82% of all executions recorded" in the Middle East and North Africa, the human rights group said.
There have been more than 2,300 executions during Hassan Rouhani’s tenure as President. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Iran in March announced that the number of executions in Iran in 2015 was greater than any year in the last 25 years. Rouhani has explicitly endorsed the executions as examples of “God’s commandments” and “laws of the parliament that belong to the people.”
