According to information received by HANA Human Rights Organization, Mohammad Raeinkhoub, a worker in his mid-fifties and father of two, died on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, following a workplace accident at a stone-crushing facility near the village of Jaber in Badreh County, illam Province.
According to sources close to HANA, he had been riding inside the bucket of a loader when it hit a bump on the dirt road, throwing him off balance and causing him to fall. The loader’s wheel then ran over his body, and he died at the scene from the severity of his injuries, according to information received.
This incident is a fresh reminder of the need for strict enforcement of safety regulations and technical safeguards in workplaces. Deaths like this, which so often stem from unsafe practices, a lack of proper equipment, and weak oversight of safety standards, are preventable, and they underscore the responsibility employers and regulatory bodies bear for protecting the lives and health of workers.
